Tom Anderson's crew at OBS spent quite a bit of time integrating the unique features of Interact into OBS Wylbur (due in part to our tireless haranguing) including the IDMS IDD interface. <SNIP> I didn't know enough about this to speak to it, because I came along at the mid-life of 9.0. I just knew we had some type of interface into IDMS, but we didn't have it to test with. And I take exception to Shmuel's assertion: "ACS inherited OBS Wylbur, which was more primitive than either NIH Wylbur or SuperWylbur(r)" First, WYLBUR is a Registered TM of Stanford (last I checked) -- think I even mentioned this in an earlier post. And ACS bought OBS, it wasn't inherited, but it was certainly killed by upper management. And wasn't it NIH that killed their system for, what was it, six weeks? because they didn't have their JES2 interface right for a single release? Meanwhile, OBS/ACS WYLBUR was supporting JES2 XA through OS/390 V1.2 with SSI and SRB, plus JES3 SSI. And then we had full 3270 support with full screen across MOD2-5, and extended attributes. SMP/E install, SMS support... Tell me again what your experience is to know all this?
