Sam, Thank you for keeping this going.
A little history, the CBT Tape (Connecticut Bank and Trust) was originated by Arnold Casinghino of CBT as part of the SHARE MVS Group's push to exchange software that we were all writing. People would submit updates to Arnold and he would incorporate them into the tape and then people would send him blank tapes and he would fill them and send them back. We owe a lot to Arnie for his work on this. I'm trying to remember the dates -- but, I was asked to form the MVS Group in, I think, 1976 and left SHARE in 1978 when I started SKK and developed ACF2, so this would have had to take place in 1976 or 1977. At that point in time, SHARE did not allow any vendors other than IBM, so I could not continue to participate in that great mainframe organization. Anyway, thanks to Sam and Arnie for providing this valuable service.
