IIRC they ran either GECOS (General Electric Comprehinsive Operating
System), or the better known Multics. I believe they are also an ancestor
of the Mainframes that Honeywell made (Honeywell dropped the 'E' from the
OS name and it became GCOS). GECOS is probably best remembered for the
'GECOS' field in the UNIX password file.
