Later, SLAC ran the later versions of Stanford Wylbur/370 and Orvyl/370. I believe SuperWylbur is a commercial product, derived from one of the others.

I believe the Stanford campus ran with HASP and/or JES2. I don't know at all how that works, but hopefully the code is there and the manuals are available. -- glen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
