Three years before I was VAXinated! There may be/have been such a
product but I never encountered it or even any mention of it!

Maybe I should have mentioned that the TAM-manual
(a printout of an Runoff file) is a combined
RSX and VMS manuall... :-)

TAM *might* have been a local "product" written at
the Digital office in Sweden.

Anyway, still in heavy use on Alpha 8.2 with 100's
of users.

To those of us in the US, TAM will always stand for "Technical Account
Manager" even though the guys who used to be them have different job titles
now.

Yes, that's what Google told me also. :-)
In this case, it *is* "Terminal Access Mmonitor".

This sounds like TAM from my company, Evans Griffiths & Hart, Inc.

It does screen managment (for many types of terminals), using a
high level language to describe the layout, field validations,
etc.

Originally written for RSTS/E, ported to RSX and VMS.

I believe at one time DEC was a customer. However, if they were
distributing it without proper attribution (and payment and
license agreements), they were in violation of their license
agreement with us.

Contact support@egh.com for more information. We still have
some people who are familiar with the product.

I have a tape with TAM for RSX here. It looks like something locally done at
Digital Sweden, but I haven't properly looked through all the stuff in there.

Yes, that sounds more like the TAM that's used at the
site I'm supporting. In this case VMS on Alpha. My guess
is that this TAM-thing would be a "Itanium-problem"... :-)
