internally, somebody did a online "green card" ... using CMS
IOS3270. I provided person with section from the 360/67 "blue card"
which included device sense information. More recently I did a Q&D
conversion from IOS3270 to HTML

some trivia drift:

blue card I got from one of the people that invented GML at the science
center in 1969 (G, M, L chosen for the inventors last name). I included
more recent 3380 and A220 in the sense information (A220 was
channel-extender, I had originally done A220 support for STL who were
moving 300 people from the IMS group to offsite bldg with services back
into the STL datacenter).

in Aug1976, TYMSHARE offered its CMS-based online computer conferencing
system free to SHARE as "VMSHARE", archives here

a decade later, vmshare moved to McGill univ. & BITNET after M/D
bought TYMSHARE (ibm-main originated on BITNET later part of the 80s).

I had early on cut a deal with TYMSHARE where they sent me monthly tape
of all VMSHARE files for putting up on internal network and systems
(including world-wide online sales&marketing support HONE system). The
biggest problem I had was with IBM lawyers who were concerned that
IBM employees would be contaminated with customer information.
