Just to mention, IIRC, SHARE, the IBM user group,

both for sharing software amongst members and presenting a coordinated front of
members to IBM, was started back in the late 50's, or very early 60's at the
latest. I suspect DECUS was modelled somewhat, or took it's cue, from SHARE.
Did any manufacturer not have a users' group back then? VIM (6000-
series user group) dates from the mid 60's at CDC. I wonder whatever
became of the VIM holdings--some interesting software there, ISTR.
