It was certainly possible; I too did it for testing on VS1 in the mid 1970s, though with my own mods. HRTPB360, btw, is shipped to this day with z/OS as SYS1.MODGEN(HRTPB360). Hmmm... quite possibly this is the only piece of z/OS source code that is still shipped and explicitly marked "COPYRIGHT = NONE". If only the IBM lawyers knew...
