Phil,

BOS/360 (predecessor to DOS), TOS/360, TSS/360, RTOS/360, MTS, DPPX/370, and
UTS (Amdahl UNIX) should be added to your list.

Subject: Mainframe operating systems?

Today's random wondering: how many operating systems can folks remember
having run on S/360 and descendants? I can think of:

OS/360 (including MFT, MVT, MVS, up thru z/OS, including MSP and VOS3) VM
(CP/40 up thru z/VM) DOS (or did it start as TOS? Not my turf! up thru
z/VSE) ACP (up thru z/TPF) TSS MUMPS MUSIC PICK AIX Linux, of course
Solaris, almost ORVYL? WYLBUR? I think ORVYL was the OS and WYLBUR was the
user environment - sort of the CP-CMS or z/OS-TSO relationship, but canna
remember for sure; someone here will know VICOM

What others? No credit for things like DDR or ICKDSF, which, while IPLable,
aren't really "OSes" in any kind of real sense!
