First, while OS/360 derived some concepts from IBSYS, it did not evolve from it. Second, you list "releases" of OS/360 that have nothing to do with OS/360: "OS/360 BOS-8k", "OS/360 BPS", "OS/360 TOS", "OS/360 BOS-16k" and "OS/360 DOS-16k". BPS/360 was not much more than a loader, BOS/360 was a separate system and TOS/360 was the same code base as DOS/360 with a tape loader instead of a disk loader. If you can get the dates I'd advise listing the releases of DOS/360 in the VSE timeline. PCP, MFT and MVT were all SYSGEN options of OS/360 rather than separate systems. MFT-II replaced MFT in Release 15/16. OS/VS2 R2 was the first release of MVS. Missing are MVS/SE and MVS/SE2. Related to that is the question of listing sub-releases; MVS went up to OS/VS2 R3.8, which with the appropriate Selectable Units was the base for MVS/SE2. It might be appropriate to include ACF/TCAM, ACF/VTAM, DF/DS, DS/EF, DFP, DFSMS, SU7, SU64, TCAM 10, TSO/E, VSAM, VTAM and VTAM 2 in a parallel timeline. >VSE - Missing very early history DOS/VSE and before. Not sure if >this is the same DOS and TOS as in the MVS history. DOS/360, DOS/VS and DOS/VSE are predecessors to VSE/ESA; there are several more after DOS/VSE, and I believe that they were VSE/AF and VSE/SP. TOS/360, as noted above, is essentially the same as DOS/360. >TPF - Almost completely missig ACP >http://www.oshistory.net/metadot/index.pl?id=2229;isa=Category;op=show PARS? What about TSS 360 and the TSS/370 PRPQ? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz, SysProg and JOAT ISO position; see <http://patriot.net/~shmuel/resume/brief.html> We don't care.
