OK, I may be a little biased since my first job out of college was working at
Burroughs on MCP.
I don't remember how I stumbled across the OS/2200 Express download option.
I hadn't found the MCP Express download option. Now that you've pointed it
out, my download request has been submitted.
Hello, my name is Kevin, and I'm a mainframe emulator/mainframe OS addict.

Since I worked on the Burroughs stuff, I keep up with what Unisys has
done with it over the years. When I saw that the 2200 stuff was
available for free, I figured that the MCP stuff would be as well.
Actually I wasn't so interested in MCP, but I liked the stack
architecture and programming in NEWP (aside from the all caps syntax). I
missed the good old says when the MCP source code told the illicit story
of George and Sophia.
