Distributed Systems Architecture
The networking architecture, developed by Honeywell-Bull for the GCOS environment, was Distributed Systems Architecture (DSA). Distributed Systems Architecture was strictly compliant with Open Systems Interconnection. Datanet was the communications front end for GCOS while its successor MainWay supports both DSA and TCP/IP networks. The Questar series provided VIP terminals for the DSA environment. TNVIP (VIP over IP) is used for the terminal emulation in a TCP/IP environment (GLink, Winsurf).

“Indiana was really, I suppose, a Democratic State. It has always been put down in the book as a state that might be carried by a close and careful and perfect organization and a great deal of—[from audience: “soap”Ma reference to purchased votes, the word being followed by laughter].

“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“I don’t think of form as a kind of architecture. The architecture is the result of the forming. It is the kinesthetic and visual sense of position and wholeness that puts the thing into the realm of art.”
—Roy Lichtenstein (b. 1923)
