DME Trademark, Acronym for direct machine environment. A system offered by ICL as a means of using the microcode capabilities of their 2900 range of machines to allow users to run ICL 1900 series software, including the GEORGE operating system. Originally offered as an interim product for users migrating from 1900 to 2900 systems, DME is sufficiently attractive to be used as a main operating environment.
