WYLBUR was used by Stanford and SLAC, and by some other academic institutions.
There's a commercial version called SuperWylbur, < http://www.superwylbur.com/>, I think there was another commercial version called Interact from Online Business Systems, but Mr. Google is not being helpful on that. And there were rumors of a DOS or Windows versions, but I was never able to track it down. It was a good products with features I still miss. I think there was a version that offloaded some of the work to a 7171 controller. An article about the retirement of the mainframe it ran on: < http://news.stanford.edu/news/2003/july9/mainframe-79.html>. I was long gone by 2003, but knew most of the people mentioned in the article. -- Jack Hamilton Management Information & Analysis Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. 1950 Franklin Street, Oakland, California 94612 +1 510 987-1556 (KP tieline 8-427-1556) NOTE: This email document and attachments are covered by CA Evidence Code §1157 and CA Health and Safety Code §1370.
