Well, due to IBM's choice of nomenclature when they did MVS-OE. Had
they referred to the new file type as, e.g. "Unix datasets", "stream
files", they could have avoided some confusion. Similarly, had they
referred to legacy data sets as, e.g., "record files" in new
publications, they could have avoided compounding the confusion.
