>ISTR the **FIRST** ESA **hardware** announcement from IBM came on Sept. 5, 1990. Seems unlikely there'd have been an ESA operating system in use by a customer before then.
MVS/ESA 3.1.0e was available when I started at the Bank of Nova Scotia in 1989. Or, very shortly after that. That was not the first release of ESA. - -teD I’m an enthusiastic proselytiser of the universal panacea I believe in! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
