PWB is the one I started with back in '77ish. Running on Dec 11/70. When SCO's Unix, which had an IBM-compatible Cobol compiler available, became available I installed on PC and over time converted our Cobol development folks to compile, debug, test on the PCs and then install on mainframe through the PDP 11/70 emulating 3270 terminal into mainframe, IIRC. Maybe by then it was a VAX 11/780. When Bourne's shell came around it was a big boost for me - added a lot. > <snip> Bill _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
