I was a student at Manchester University from 1974 to
1980. During that
time I used the University of Manchester Regional Computer Centre (UMRCC)
computer system. The so-called Joint System consisted of a CDC 7600 with an
ICL 1906A front end. We used to submit card decks via a Systime (a PDP-11
clone, I believe) that functioned as a remote job entry service.
I am trying to find out information about the structure of those card decks
(mine were used for shopping lists years ago), and in particular, what the
first card in the deck was that routed the job to the correct computer.
I can't help you with your specific case, other than to mention that
Purdue University for a time used a 6500 front-ended by a couple of IBM
7094s (IIRC, and it's been a long time--could have been 7090s), that
might give you a clue. The VIM community wasn't large.
From my own experience with 6000s, the SCOPE 1BJ
overlay was heavily
modified by various sites. I imagine that the corresponding
code in
the SCOPE 2.x JS code was similarly tweaked.
