GCOS /jee'kohs/ n.   A {quick-and-dirty} {clone} of System/360    DOS that emerged from GE around 1970; originally called GECOS (the    General Electric Comprehensive Operating System).   Later kluged to    support primitive timesharing and transaction processing.   After the    buyout of GE's computer division by Honeywell, the name was changed    to General Comprehensive Operating System (GCOS).   Other OS groups    at Honeywell began referring to it as `God's Chosen Operating    System', allegedly in reaction to the GCOS crowd's uninformed and    snotty attitude about the superiority of their product.   All this    might be of zero interest, except for two facts: (1) The GCOS people    won the political war, and this led in the orphaning and eventual    death of Honeywell {{Multics}}, and (2) GECOS/GCOS left one    permanent mark on Unix.   Some early Unix systems at Bell Labs used    GCOS machines for print spooling and various other services; the    field added to `/etc/passwd' to carry GCOS ID information was called    the `GECOS field' and survives today as the `pw_gecos' member used    for the user's full name and other human-ID information.   GCOS later    played a major role in keeping Honeywell a dismal also-ran in the    mainframe market, and was itself mostly ditched for Unix in the late    1980s when Honeywell began to retire its aging {big iron} designs.

GCOS          /jee'kohs/ An {operating system} developed       by {General Electric} from 1962; originally called GECOS (the       General Electric Comprehensive Operating System).          The GECOS-II operating system was developed by {General       Electric} for the 36-bit {GE-635} in 1962-1964.   Contrary to       rumour, GECOS was not cloned from {System/360} [{DOS/360}?] -       the GE-635 architecture was very different from the {IBM 360}       and GECOS was more ambitious than DOS/360.          GE Information Service Divsion developed a large special       multi-computer system that was not publicised because they did       not wish {time sharing} customers to challenge their bills.       Although GE ISD was marketing {DTSS} - the first commercial       time sharing system - GE Computer Division had no license from       Dartmouth and GE-ISD to market it to external customers, so       they designed a time-sharing system to sell as a standard part       of GECOS-III, which replaced GECOS-II in 1967.   GECOS TSS was       more general purpose than DTSS, it was more a programmer's       tool (program editing, e-mail on a single system) than a BASIC       TSS.          The {GE-645}, a modified 635 built by the same people, was       selected by {MIT} and {Bell} for the {Multics} project.       Multics' infancy was as painful as any infancy.   Bell pulled       out in 1969 and later produced {Unix}.          After the buy-out of GE's computer division by {Honeywell},       GECOS-III was renamed GCOS-3 (General Comprehensive Operating       System).   Other OS groups at Honeywell began referring to it       as "God's Chosen Operating System", allegedly in reaction to       the GCOS crowd's uninformed and snotty attitude about the       superiority of their product.   [Can anyone confirm this?]       GCOS won and this led in the orphaning and eventual death of       Honeywell {Multics}.          Honeywell also decided to launch a new product line called       Level64, and later DPS-7.   It was decided to mainatin, at       least temporarily, the 36-bit machine as top of the line,       because GCOS-3 was so successfull in the 1970s.   The plan in       1972-1973 was that GCOS-3 and Multics should converge.   This       plan was killed by Honeywell management in 1973 for lack of       resources and the inability of Multics, lacking {databases}       and {transaction processing}, to act as a business operating       system without a substantial reinvestment.          The name "GCOS" was extended to all Honeywell-marketed product       lines and GCOS-64, a completely different 32-bit operating       system, significanctly inspired by Multics, was designed in       France and Boston.   GCOS-62, another different 32-bit low-end       DOS level was designed in Italy.   GCOS-61 represented a new       version of a small system made in France and the new DPS-6       16-bit {minicomputer} line got GCOS-6.          When the intended merge between GCOS-3 and Multics failed, the       Phoenix designers had in mind a big upgrade of the       architecture to introduce {segmentation} and {capabilities}.       GCOS-3 was renamed GCOS-8, well before it started to use the       new features which were introduced in next generation       hardware.          The GCOS licenses were sold to the Japanese companies {NEC}       and {Toshiba} who developed the Honeywell products, including       GCOS, much further, surpassing the {IBM 3090} and {IBM 390}.          When Honeywell decided in 1984 to get its top of the range       machines from NEC, they considered running Multics on them but       the Multics market was considered too small.   Due to the       difficulty of porting the ancient Multics code they considered       modifying the NEC hardware to support the Multics compilers.          GCOS3 featured a good {Codasyl} {database} called IDS       (Integrated Data Store) that was the model for the more       successful {IDMS}.          Several versions of transaction processing wereNo definitions found for "geek" designed for       GCOS-3 and GCOS-8.   An early attempt at TP for GCOS-3, not       taken up in Europe, assumed that, as in {Unix}, a new process       should be started to handle each transaction.   IBM customers       required a more efficient model where multiplexed {threads}       wait for messages and can share resources.   Those features       were implemented as subsystems.          GCOS-3 soon acquired a proper {TP monitor} called Transaction       Driven System (TDS).   TDS was essentially a Honeywell       development.   It later evolved into TP8 on GCOS-8.   TDS and       its developments were commercially successful and predated IBM       {CICS}, which had a very similar architecture.          GCOS-6 and GCOS-4 (ex-GCOS-62) were superseded by {Motorola       68000}-based {minicomputers} running {Unix} and the product       lines were discontinued.          In the late 1980s Bull took over Honeywell and Bull's       management choose Unix, probably with the intent to move out       of hardware into {middleware}.   Bull killed the Boston       proposal to port Multics to a platform derived from DPS-6.       Very few customers rushed to convert from GCOS to Unix and new       machines (of CMOS technology) are still to be introduced in       1997 with GCOS-8.   GCOS played a major role in keeping       Honeywell a dismal also-ran in the {mainframe} market.          Some early Unix systems at {Bell Labs} used GCOS machines for       print spooling and various other services.   The field added to       "/etc/passwd" to carry GCOS ID information was called the       "{GECOS field}" and survives today as the "pw_gecos" member       used for the user's full name and other human-ID information.          [{Jargon File}]          (1998-04-23)

Gaza       called also Azzah, which is its Hebrew name (Deut. 2:23; 1 Kings       4:24; Jer. 25:20), strong, a city on the Mediterranean shore,       remarkable for its early importance as the chief centre of a       great commercial traffic with Egypt. It is one of the oldest       cities of the world (Gen. 10:19; Josh. 15:47). Its earliest       inhabitants were the Avims, who were conquered and displaced by       the Caphtorims (Deut. 2:23; Josh. 13:2, 3), a Philistine tribe.       In the division of the land it fell to the lot of Judah (Josh.       15:47; Judg. 1:18). It was the southernmost of the five great       Philistine cities which gave each a golden emerod as a       trespass-offering unto the Lord (1 Sam. 6:17). Its gates were       carried away by Samson (Judg. 16:1-3). Here he was afterwards a       prisoner, and "did grind in the prison house." Here he also       pulled down the temple of Dagon, and slew "all the lords of the       Philistines," himself also perishing in the ruin (Judg.       16:21-30). The prophets denounce the judgments of God against it       (Jer. 25:20; 47:5; Amos 1:6, 7; Zeph. 2:4). It is referred to in       Acts 8:26. Philip is here told to take the road from Jerusalem       to Gaza (about 6 miles south-west of Jerusalem), "which is       desert", i.e., the "desert road," probably by Hebron, through       the desert hills of Southern Judea. (See {SAMSON}.)                It is noticed on monuments as early as B.C. 1600. Its small       port is now called el-Mineh.

Gehazi       valley of vision, Elisha's trusted servant (2 Kings 4:31; 5:25;       8:4, 5). He appears in connection with the history of the       Shunammite (2 Kings 4:14, 31) and of Naaman the Syrian. On this       latter occasion he was guilty of duplicity and dishonesty of       conduct, causing Elisha to denounce his crime with righteous       sternness, and pass on him the terrible doom that the leprosy of       Naaman would cleave to him and his for ever (5:20-27).                He afterwards appeared before king Joram, to whom he recounted       the great deeds of his master (2 Kings 8:1-6).

Gog       (1.) A Reubenite (1 Chr. 5:4), the father of Shimei.                (2.) The name of the leader of the hostile party described in       Ezek. 38,39, as coming from the "north country" and assailing       the people of Israel to their own destruction. This prophecy has       been regarded as fulfilled in the conflicts of the Maccabees       with Antiochus, the invasion and overthrow of the Chaldeans, and       the temporary successes and destined overthrow of the Turks. But       "all these interpretations are unsatisfactory and inadequate.       The vision respecting Gog and Magog in the Apocalypse (Rev.       20:8) is in substance a reannouncement of this prophecy of       Ezekiel. But while Ezekiel contemplates the great conflict in a       more general light as what was certainly to be connected with       the times of the Messiah, and should come then to its last       decisive issues, John, on the other hand, writing from the       commencement of the Messiah's times, describes there the last       struggles and victories of the cause of Christ. In both cases       alike the vision describes the final workings of the world's       evil and its results in connection with the kingdom of God, only       the starting-point is placed further in advance in the one case       than in the other."                It has been supposed to be the name of a district in the wild       north-east steppes of Central Asia, north of the Hindu-Kush, now       a part of Turkestan, a region about 2,000 miles north-east of       Nineveh.
