You seem to recall incorrectly then; the MVS/ESA SP 3.1.0 software availability announcement which supported the Enterprise Systems Architecture/370 (ESA/370) came out on July 26, 1988 for availability on July 29, 1988. Mark's "the late 80's" fits for ESA/370 hardware. September 5, 1990 was the announcement date for MVS/DFP 3.3.0. -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
