From the site that you mentioned in your later post: 1969 Bell Labs disassociates itself from the Multics project and Kenneth Thompson develops the UNIX operating system. 1972 UNIX system is supporting word processing in Bell Labs Patent Division and a long distance test room in Charlotte, S.C.; and is handling trouble reports for Pacific Telephone. 1975 UNIX version 6 released to universities. > >But, the underpins of MVS were out much earlier than UNIX. > Much older? The Multics project started in 1964. The same year that System/360 came out. Ken Thompson joined the team in 1966. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
