I got to shoot bugs in beta-test version of cica on 360 in 1969.

the univ. library had a ONR grant for doing an automated library
project ... and got selected to be an early cics betatest site for the
implementation.

i specifically remember shooting a bdam open bug in cics. the original
code had been developed at a customer site ... and the library was
using some different bdam options than had been in the original
environment.

random past bdam &/or cics posts
