Isn't it "CMS Multitasking" and not "CMS" that uses multiple cpus? It is a fine point of distinction, but I cannot run multiple concurrent programs under CMS and have instances of simultaneous execution of two or more of them without going beyond basic CMS to CMS Multitasking. It is a different operating system.
