Sorry, but I think you do get extra points for TMS as the original name.
In the 1970's the product was known as TMS.
UCC corporation renamed the product to UCC-1.
UCC got into legal problems with their name and changed their name to
UCCEL corporation. I seem to remember it being called UCCEL-1 for a
while, but I'm not sure about that.
Computer Associates bought UCCEL and renamed the product to CA-1.
The product's name is CA-1. TMS is just a left-over phrase from the
mainframe dark ages. (i.e., my time).
Anybody else's memory better on this, or do I get the extra points?
