Yup, for about 7 years batch & CICS on MVS (big iron), Intel on the
PeeCee (under CPM and MPM) and on Motorola (under Apple). Heck, we used a
binary editor on the OS executable looking for holes in the code (blocks of
addresses that were skipped or jumped over, modify a branch code and insert
a binary patch :-)). Also used SuperZap on MVS to binary patch executables
that we didn't have the source for, seems someone misplaced it.
