I -- and John I am sure -- remember when it came along. A radical concept. A
"time sharing option" for OS/360. Ooh. Not sure about this. And it gave new
meaning to the word slow.

Still does not answer the "IKJ" question.

TSO was not an original element of [any early flavor of] OS for the
System/360.  Its IKJ prefix came a lot later.   TSO was initially a
literal, dispensable option; it was not integrated into the operating system
as it now is.
