DPCX (Distributed Processing Control eXecutive) was an

word processing system, Distributed Office Support Facility (DOSF) which was derived from the earlier IBM 3730
word processing system.

Like DPPX, it was written in the

System/370
assembler macro facility.

The 8100/DPCX/DOSF system was the first type of distributed system to connect to the

IBM Distributed Office Support System (DISOSS) running on data host.[4] Later versions of DISOSS relied on SNA Distribution System (SNADS) and eventually became peer-to-peer communication of documents which complied with Document Interchange Architecture (DIA) and Document Content Architecture (DCA) as other types of distributed system gained DISOSS support – Scanmaster, Displaywriter, and 5520
Office System.
