Line 1:

'''Airline Control Program''', or '''ACP''', was the [[operating system]] developed by [[IBM]] in [[1969]] for processing [[airline]] reservations and related data. Most notable about ACP compared to previous airline transcation processing systems was that it was designed to run on most models of the [[IBM 360]] mainframe computer family instead of each airline having a machine-specific transaction system.

In February [[1979]], ACP became known as ACP/TPF and then just [[TPF]] (Transaction Processing Facility) as the transaction operating system became more widely implemented by businesses other than the major airlines.
