HOMLES 2

Hello, is it worth renaming this HOLMES 2 and doing a write on the original HOLMES? Im wondering if there is that much of a difference between the 2 systems. I refer to the original HOLMES in British Military Intelligence Systems in Northern Ireland. Thanks Fluffy999 18:43, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I worked on the original HOLMES system, for Burroughs Machines, the forerunner of Unisys. I am not familiar with HOLMES2, but knowing the technology available in 1985 and in 2000 respectively, in terms of storage, processing power and so on, it seems a fair bet that the two systems share little but their purpose. Note that the original system was entirely text-based, using green-on-black monitors ( Burroughs B20s), networked using the proprietary CTOS networked operating system. As far as I am aware, CTOS systems had been obsolete for a decade before HOLMES2 was completed.

I am going to nominate British Military Intelligence Systems in Northern Ireland for deletion; it lacks any citations, is badly written, and seems to rely on a single source, 'Geraghty', but without mentioning how one might set about finding out who 'Geraghty' is or verifying what 'Geraghty' said.

Which brother?

Sounds like it was named more for Mycroft (the program's actions are more in Mycrofts line) than Sherlock. 206.116.119.130 (talk) 10:24, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
