Hello! (In response to a message written by someone with an audience.) 9370? I met one once, a long time ago. I was surviving my last year in high school It was at the offices of my mother's insurance company, (Note to Dave, she only worked there, she did not own it.) it was in the company of a crowd of PS Model 50Z designs. I believe it was running line of business programs on the subject of the insurance company whose products that firm sold. I have since found out that the machine in question was specially configured to enable MVS being run it directly. ----- Gregg C Levine [email protected] "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
