Acronyms et al

[Ohmes, Matt]

Hi all,

Now bear in mind I haven't run into some of these suckers in 15 years, but
if memory serves me...
PROTOS was a 4GL product that competed with PowerHouse for a while.  I
believe it was a COBOL code generator.  Haven't hear of them in years.

TRANSACT was part of a small suite of 4GL tools that HP put out in the early
80's. I think TRANSACT was the screen generator and transaction processing
tool.  The suite was fairly popular in certain areas of the country
(California and Atlanta), but never really caught on elsewhere.
OCS I haven't got a clue.  Optical Character Scanning??  Anyone?

Hello Listusers:

Been away for awhile trying, unsuccessfully I might
add, to change careers. Seems banks want you to be in
the business of building houses rather than computer
systems for 30 years before they'll lend yuh money. Oh
dear.

Anyway, can anyone help me with descriptions of the
following? Thanks in advance for your patience with
such blockhead questions:

PROTOS (HP3000)
OCS (HP3000)
TRANSACT (HP3000)

J Penney
