Edward: Way back in the 70’s or early 80’s I was ahead of the TSO project (don’t remember now if it was Share or Guide). Anyway one members was a really big JES3 person. He wanted all sort of things that the rest of the members did not want we spent countless hours arguing about JES3 this and that. If I remember correctly he was with Standard Oil. The IBMers were getting mad as he was monopolizing the conversation and trying to get JES3 code into TSO commands etc etc. They threatened to leave and finally I asked the guy to leave as he was disrupting the group. He disappeared and never showed up again. We actually did a white paper on TSO and IBM just wasn’t interested, I think it was because of the JES3 person, but I never could get a word out of them.
