	Tymshare, Inc.
		Description: Beautifully engraved unissued certificate from the Tymshare, Inc. This historic document was printed by the American Banknote Company in 1978 and has an ornate border around it with a vignette of a woman infront of a city skyline.
		Tymshare sold the TYMNET network software to TRW, who created their own private network (which was not called TYMNET).
		Tymshare was purchased by McDonnell Douglas in 1984 who renamed the Tymnet group to the McDonnell Douglas Network Systems Company.

	Memoirs (Part 3)
		Tymshare was then quartered in a number of small buildings located on Bubb Road in Cupertino, a town that had not yet become widely known as the heart of Silicon Valley.
		Tymshare was offered a chance to acquire that project, and I was part of a three-man team—the other two were from our Marketing division—sent to SRI to investigate the Engelbart opportunity.
		Tymshare profits began to sag in 1982, and in 1984 the board forced O'Rourke to sell out to McDonnell-Douglas, which was expanding and diversifying with all the money it had made building Phantoms.

	Tymshare
		Tymshare took the software from Berkeley, several releases, actually, and began to develop it for commercial use.
		Tymshare was one of the very early buyers in that market, aside, of course, from the owners of IBM computer systems.
		Here is some good information about later Tymshare hardware systems.

	Trading Active In Tymshare - New York Times
		Active trading in Tymshare Inc. was attributed by analysts and traders to reports that the company was an imminent takeover target.
		Tymshare, one of the biggest percentage gainers on the New York Stock Exchange, jumped $1.75, to $26.75.
		On Wednesday, Tymshare said it had appointed Goldman, Sachs & Company and Hambrecht & Quist as its financial advisers, and Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz as its special legal counsel to ''explore financial alternatives.'' That followed the acquisition by Wang Laboratories Inc. of 4.3 percent of Tymshare's stock.

	GOODYEAR TIRE v. WHITEMAN TIRE, 86 Wn. App. 732 (1997) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In the agreement, Tymshare reserved the right to change the quota plan on which commissions were based, "at any time during the quota year within [its] sole discretion[.]" Tymshare, 727 F.2d at 1148 (emphasis added).
		The court held "sole discretion" was discretion to determine the existence of factors that reasonably justified changing the sales quota for commissions, and that a desire to deprive an employee of the agreed benefit of his labors was not such a factor.
		Covell's employment contract contained conditions for modifying the sales quota, Tymshare, 727 F.2d at 1148, the fact it also spoke of such modifications as being at the employer's discretion did not mean the employer could exercise that discretion without good reason.

		When William R. Wood, president of EDP Industries Limited, announced that the company has entered into a joint venture with Tymshare Inc. of Palo Alto, Calif., to give Canadians instant access early next year to the powerful Tymshare computer network in the United States, the company drew one step closer to this goal.
		Tymshare Canada Ltd. will offer services initially in Toronto in the first quarter of 1970.
		It will subsequently move to every major city in Canada, with subscribers connected instantly by a local telephone call to more than a dozen large computers located across Canada and the U.S. The Tymshare computer network in the U. is currently the biggest independent system of its kind in North America.

	KeyKOS - A Secure, High-Performance Environment for S/370
		When Tymshare started work on KeyKOS in the early 1970s, there were solid business requirements jusitifying the project.
		Because Tymshare's systems were accessed from around the world, continuous operation was a requirement.
		Because of these deficiencies, Tymshare decided its best option was to build a system of its own.

		Tymshare has already been somehow familiar to NLS, which dates back to the time when ARC was still operational and experimented with its own local copy of the NLS software on a minicomputer called OFFICE-1, as part of a joint project with ARC.
		At Tymshare, Engelbart soon found himself marginalized: operational concerns at Tymshare finally overrode Engelbart's desire to do further research.
		Various executives first at Tymshare and later at McDonnell Douglas (which took over Tymshare in 1982) expressed interest in his ideas, but never committed the funds or the people to to go on supporting them.

		Design work on KeyKOS began at Tymshare in the early 1970s where it was implemented to provide commercial service on IBM 370s.
		Shortly after McDonnell Douglas acquired Tymshare in 1984, Key Logic spun out to continue development and marketing of the system.
		With support from the Key Logic staff, Unisys ported KeyKOS to their next generation hardware, and Omron ported it to the Motorola 88000 where it supported POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) (qv) and the X-Window system.

	Introduction to KeySAFE - Background
		Research and design of KeyKOS (and its forerunner, GNOSIS) was begun in the early 1970s at Tymshare Corporation.
		From the beginning, the design goals of the system included high standards of security, such as strong isolation, enforcement of the Principle of Least Privilege, tamper resistance, trusted path facilities, secure backup and recovery, and many other aspects which were later described in the TCSEC.
		After the acquisition of Tymshare by McDonnell Douglas Corporation in 1984 and the subsequent divestiture of various R and D activities, Key Logic was formed as a totally independent company spun off from McDonnell Douglas in April, 1985.

	KeyKOS Documentation
		Initially developed at Tymshare, Inc., it was deployed in production in 1981 as a secure server processing credit card transactions while simultaneously supporting other applications.
		Original construction of KeyKOS began in 1975 under the project name "Gnosis." This document served as the design tool for this capability based system, both at Tymshare and later at Key Logic where development continued after 1985.
		Some of this documentation is specific to the IBM 370 hardware for which the system was originally built at Tymshare although it was ported to microprocessor based hardware at Key Logic.

		Currently we are experiencing hardware difficulties on this system, but we and the staff at TYMSHARE are working diligently to solve the problems.

		The augmentation system is being offered, on a limited basis, by Tymshare, which bought Engelbart’s research and, in effect, Engelbart, from SRI in 1977.
		So SRI put the project up for auction, and Tymshare got it for a bid representing a fraction of the accumulated research costs.

		Tymshare was sold off to McDonell-Douglas for $14M, which immediately spun out various residual Tymshare technologies into startup companies.
