I lobbied against getting rid of Roscoe, Wylbur was already gone, for the COBOL developers a while back when management wanted to go purely TSO. At that time, with storage resources at somewhat of a minimum, I just could not see getting rid of Roscoe. We kept it but I still had my trials and tribulations playing with 32 MB of storage. We eventually married two 3081's to get a 3084 w/PIF.

Response time is longer for that single TSO user on the 3081 than for CMS doing same type of stuff on a loaded 3033.

The observation is that TSO is so slow, that you have lots of time to syntax your next input & make sure that there are no mistakes (because if there are ... then things will really be slow). ... snip ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
