CICS.  Customer Information Control System.  It's an IBM monitor, mostly
used under MVS, for those people who don't need all the database support
that IMS provides.  Mostly provides terminal support, transaction processing,
message passing, and nicer file I/O support than "raw" MVS (which isn't
saying much).  Also provides some security to prevent unauthorized access
to "transactions" (analagous to programs, except not all programs are trans-
actions).
