AT&T and later Unix System Labs developed and sold a transaction processing system
called `Tuxedo' in the late 80s or early 90s.  are they by any chance related?
(mind you, USL might have done better selling dinner jackets
for all the good they did with Unix.)

Damme. I meant "it _wasn't_ exactly light on it's feet".

Yes, I remember that. It was exactly light on it's feet.

Check out commercial middle ware "Tuxedo" by BEA software too... It is
distributed application management and OLTP as well I believe.  I haven't
seen it yet, but one of our architecture guys was looking at it and he
really liked it.

Well, you can look at distributed OSs like amoeba or distributed
middleware like ISIS.  A good place for transaction info is
the Transaction Processing Performance Council (www.tpc.org)
of TPC-A,B,C&D fame.

For my part, since everyone is so patent crazy now, I just roll
my own... (and document the hell out of the dates and processes.)
