Wylbur was used by a lot of shops, but I'm not aware of anyone else using
ORVYL.

Two different products, eventually under one roof. Gerhard, can you give a

I've heard of subsets on a PC, but never a full implementation.

Eventually they all supported 3270 terminals, or do you mean something on
the 7171 beyond simulating a 3270?
>An article about the retirement of the mainframe it ran on:
I believe that Stanford ran Wylbur on a 360/75 and Orvyl on a 360/67.
