To add a little more to Steve Thompson's reply: WYLBUR, and its required telecommunications component ORVYL (might not have spelled that one right, but how clever), were developed at NIH and thus were in the public domain. <SNIP> They were developed at Stanford U. One of the original developers is known to many of you at the HLASM guy, one Dr. John Erhman. Stanford had the name Wylbur trademarked and OBS and later ACS had to discuss a few things with Stanford about the Trademark. I got the impression in 1995-6 time frame that the Trademark had died. ORVYL and Wylbur were named for some right brothers <\subtle hint>. But since I turned it over to ACS legal, and the legal department was about as responsive to me as a dead cobra... Oh yes, some of the improvements to Wylbur under OBS was full 3270 support with COLOR, JES2 SRB (where we went into the JES 2 address space and stole the spool output for display). And the JES2 or JES3 SSI support that kind of did the same thing.
