 MITEM's Unisys Solutions
Unisys has a long history, dating back as far as 1873, but it was not until 1960 when their first mainframe computer system was launched: the Sperry Rand UNIVAC 1100 Series.
Unisys has an extensive background in mainframe-class systems and is still a major vendor in the high performance server market.
The applications residing on the Unisys mainframes would have been written to support specific terminal types, and the transport of information to and from those terminals and the Unisys mainframe would utilize what is referred to today as the terminal data stream.

 The GIF Controversy: A Software Developer's Perspective (lzw.info)
Unisys Corporation announced to the public that developers would have to pay a license fee in order to continue to use technology patented by Unisys in certain categories of software supporting the GIF format.
Unisys said on at least one occasion that it first began to learn of the widespread use of LZW in connection with the development of this standard.
While the Unisys licensing policies announced on January 27, 1995 (and later narrowed to more restrictive but clearer definitions) enabled many software publishers to again ship their products after a month-long pause, other developers preferred to abandon GIF already in 1995, waiting for a patent-free evolution of GIF.

 Unisys Statement to Press and On-Line Community
Two years ago, Unisys learned that the LZW method was incorporated in the GIF specification and immediately began negotiations with CompuServe in January of 1993.
Unisys did not require CompuServe to pass on any fee to its sublicensees or end users.
Unisys does not require licensing, or fees to be paid, for non-commercial, non-profit GIF-based applications, including those for use on the on-line services.

 AspImage, LZW and the Unisys Patent on GIF/LZW
RLE is not patented by Unisys as the LZW algorithm is. Therefore we are free to provide copies of AspImage which use RLE encoding.
Unisys responded by warning us that we would be "willfully infringing" on their patent and could be subject to legal action, possibly by Web server operators that were using our product without a Unisys license.
The Unisys clerk wouldn't even admit the facts of the case: that they refused to license AspImage for LZW usage in 1997 when we requested a license.
