<operating system> (TPX) A multiple session manager used to
access mainframe applications. It was written by Morgan
Stanley, acquired by Duquesne Systems and is now owned by
Computer Associates. TPX allows you to work in multiple
mainframe applications concurrently; lock and unlock your TPX
screen; place your applications on hold; logon to TPX from a
different terminal without losing your place; customize your
TPX menu and send a screen image to another TPX user.
TPX runs on MVS and VM. On VM, like VTAM, it uses the
MVS-like facilities of GCS. It has a complete scripting
facility and lets you see other user's sessions. The
client-server version allows each managed session to open in
its own window. Richard Kuebbing has built a complete e-mail
system into it.
