DEC had a bunch of unrelated machines with "PD" in their model numbers.
They didn't even have the same word size.
I suspect that what Tymshare had was a PDP-10, or maybe the older PDP-6,
which was basically an older version of the same machine.
I lost track of that copy over the years, however a couple years ago i
managed to trip across a (later) PLI source (a WYLBUR/TSO version
I know what a TSO version is, but how could you have a Wylbur version
written in PL/I? Wylbur didn't support any language other than its own
command/macro language.
I suspect he may have meant ORVYL, the interactive exuction companion
to WYLBUR. We never ran it, so I don't know much about it.
