the cp67 changes i did at the univ for tty support was picked up and
shipped in the standard product by the science center
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#545tech

I had done a hack with 1byte arithmatic values for calculating data
transferred (since tty max line length was much shorter)

science center was 4th flr, 545 tech sq ... and the MIT Urban Systems
lab had a cp67 datacenter in tech sq bldg. across the courtyard.  this
is tale of tty max. line length being modified to 1200 (I think for some
kind of plotter device down at harvard school of public health).
http://www.multicians.org/thvv/360-67.html

resulting in cp67 crashing 27 times in one day (storage overlay with
incorrect line lengths being calculated)

note that the above mentions science center on 3rd flr ... that is
incorrect. the science center was on the 4th flr of 545 tech sq (with
project mac & multics on the 5th flr) and the science center cp67
machine room was on the 2nd flr. The IBM Boston Programming center was
on the 3rd flr ... although after the cp67 group split off from the
science center in progress of turning into the vm370 group ...  they
moved to the 3rd flr and absorbed the Boston Programming Center. recent
trivia about boston programming center doing conversational programming
system (CPS) for os/360
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2013c.html#8
and
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/allen-babcock/cps/CPS_Progress_Report_may66.pdf

it also mentions 44MPS ... however, what the science center did was
hardware modify a 360/40 with virtual memory and did cp40/cms ... before
it morphs into cp67/cms when the 360/40 was replaced with
360/67. Comeau's cp40 talk that he gave at 1982 seas meeting
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/cp40seas1982.txt

some of the above also discussed in cloud computing thread

other trivia ... tss/360 group was purported to have 1200 people at a
time when the cp67/cms group had 12 people (factor of 100 times
diference)
