Yes, it was. The idea came up somewhere after release 1 was in the field
a while and APARs had come in against it and PTFs had been applied and
update releases fixed problems.
I was just a junior programmer at the time, so it wasn't even my idea, I
was just the guy who implemented MEMMAP. So, someone had to determine
that this might be a way of determining test bucket coverage and then
they had to provide a design which I coded.
On thinking it over some, it had to be early 1968, ending around March
or so (I just reviewed my CV and found I went to FE education in April
of 1968). So maybe it was closer to Release 11 or 12. Wasn't release 14
actually 14/15 (not that that means anything, just a recollection)?
BTW, I meant that I LAST saw release 1 around 1968. I know it went GA in
April of 1966 (I actually think it was GA on April 1st).

Wasn't that kind of long in the tooth by then? As I recall, 1968 was when
Release 14 came out.
