Clark: I can think of 2 JES3 shops. One went bankrupt the other is a large OIL company. They left Chicago and I don’t know where they went. One of the contributor’s here used to work for the OIL company. I met his cohort 30 years ago, when I was forced into a meeting. All I remember was his name was John. I believe they heavily modified JES3. I do not remember details as it was really long time ago. *IF* I remember correctly almost any shop that had JES3 modified it in some way. I am not talking EXITS.
