Sine the earliest days of TSO, CALL has used the dataset as a TASKLIB when
it attaches the user program, and this effect is propagated down to lower
task levels.

This guy spent who knows how much money on getting this patent, and it

ten years before the application.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by congruent, but 1047, 037, 500, and many

What about simply disabling the keyboard electrically, using some sort of

Somewhere at home I have an IBM poster that says "VM Soars with 20,000
