What was old is new again vm370 monthly service tapes (referred to as "PLC" or program level change) had both the full original release source and all the accumulated source updates ... besides having precompiled modules. The burlington group had done a modified CMS TAPE program for release and monthly PLC service tapes (VMFPLC). Among the things "lost" with the shutdown of the Burlington development group was the source changes for VMFPLC (one of the few things where the full source wasn't shipped). I was possibly the only person in the company that still had the original source for VMFPLC. some discussion in this post http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2003b.html#42 VMFPLC2 tape format In the late 70s, I was doing an internal backup/archive for internal datacenters and enhanced the VMFPLC source to add some additional features and get higher tape data capacity (lot more tape record blocking so there were fewer physical tape records). Originally distributed mostly in the silicon valley area (including HONE) ... but started to spread through much of the rest of the company. This went through several internal releases ... and then was enhanced for customer release with lots of client applications for backing up distributed environment and released as workstation datasave ... which morphs into ADSM ... and then when IBM was unloading the disk division, morphs int TSM. some old email http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/lhwemail.html#cmsback and past posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#cmsback -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
