Lab. in the 60's and early 70's, Bernard Galler (U of M) used to be a regular guest at the Lab. He lectured us on the MAD programming language and, of course, "The Michigan Terminal System" (MTS). His lectures ranged from the internals to the practical uses of MTS. He was very critical of IBM's lack of direction with regards to time sharing - and hence tried to "convert" as many of us development folks as possible into becoming timeshare advocates! After months of attending his lectures - he would get huge ovations when he would chastise IBM for not moving in the direction of "real" time sharing ;-) According to Wikipedia, MTS "still runs using IBM S/370 emulators such as Hercules, Sim390, and FLEX-ES". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Terminal_System I'll certainly give a shot at getting it running :-) Cheers, Lyle -- Lyle Bickley, AF6WS Bickley Consulting West Inc. http://bickleywest.com "Black holes are where God is dividing by zero"
