Our entire shop was based around Wylbur/orvyl.  some of the developers got
free time on our mainframe so we would get wylbur with updates and free
maint. for over 20 years.  It had a very powerful utility language behind
it sort of like a stripped down REXX. This was back in the 70's and 80's
even into the 90's. We had a real assembler guru who would update the
wylbur job submission module to align with each later JES2 version (mostly
offsets).

    It could submit and then fetch any job. It also had its own simple
security module to protect some jobs.  Great product especially for free.

Ah  the good old days !!!
