Hi, The academic community made huge contributions to VM. However, the VM developers did their share also.
Many of the IBM developers who were laid off in the early to mid 90's when IBM took a nose dive were excellent programmers. IBM management was very wise in encouraging the user community to develop a sense of ownership in products like VM. I don't think I'd ever be content again to invent a protocol just so I could have a point in some reward program and get a free lunch.

Some years ago Melinda Varian published a paper on the History of VM. It chronicles the activities at the Cambridge Scientific Center. Fascinating story. http://pucc.princeton.edu/~melinda/25paper.pdf Bob Shannon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
