MFT and MVT were contemporaneous. In fact, a lot of the code in MFT came from MVT.
as undergraudate, i gen'ed OS/360 releases 9.5 and 11 and 14 as "MFT" (along with installing HASP). I don't remember MVT option becoming available until release 12 ... and I don't know anybody that actually gen'ed a release 12 MVT system ... I know some number had gen'ed release 13 MVT systems ... and I didn't gen a MVT system until release "15/16" (i.e. release 15 had slipped so badly that it was combined with 16). I believe it was a release 13 MVT system that was modified by Boeing Huntsville to support virtual memory running on 360/67 "duplex" (two processor smp). It didn't support paging ... but they had a lot of long running 2250 graphic applications ... and they used virtual memory to get around os/360 storage fragmentation problems (especially with long running applications). for some topic drift ... I did a presentation at boston share aug68 ... about a lot of enhancements i had done to MFT-14 ... as well as performance of MFT-14 in virutal machine after having done a lot of cp67 kernel rewrite. past post with portion of aug68 share presentation http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/94.html#18 CP/67 & OS MFT14 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
