Re: IBM S/360 series operating systems history:
Second, you list "releases" of OS/360 that have nothing to do with
OS/360: "OS/360 BOS-8k", "OS/360 BPS", "OS/360 TOS", "OS/360 BOS-16k"
and "OS/360 DOS-16k". BPS/360 was not much more than a loader, BOS/360
was a separate system and TOS/360 was the same code base as DOS/360
with a tape loader instead of a disk loader. If you can get the dates
I'd advise listing the releases of DOS/360 in the VSE timeline.
DOS/360 started with the name BOS-16k and was renamed as DOS at some
release level. The same thing happened with BPS-16k which got renamed
to TOS at the same release level. The BOS-8k and BPS-8k were renamed
to just BOS and BPS at that release level and then dropped totally.
