You're going to have to be more specific than that.  At what time?  On
what mainframe(s)?  Are you saying that by the time Ultimate, whatever
that is when it's at home, was running, no other non-IBM OSes were
running on IBM hardware, all others being dead?  Or that Ultimate was
earlier than, say, MTS on IBM hardware?  And are you claiming that no
other manufacturers' systems are mainframes?  What are you saying?
