If I wanted a WAITR then I'd go to a restaurant. That whole PRSCB
mechanism was a kludge, and when MFT II came along things were much

What did you do about normal programs, which did WAIT rather than WAITR?
Especially programs that you didn't write?

FORTRAN H and FORTH are two very different languages. I don't know if
there was ever a FORTH implementation for OS/360.
BTW, FORTRAN H was written in FORTRAN H, a much uglier language than BSL
and its descendants.
