Like many other people, we never moved our users to SFS because of lack o
f OfficeVision support. By the time OV came out with support, we were already moving all our users to Outlook.

"Users were slow to enbrace SFS" is nonsense. The real problem was that IBM was slow to embrace SFS. Was even VM installable in SFS in 1995? I know we did it with PPF overrides well before IBM shipped a way to do it.

Granted.
Weren't the VTAM developers mainly MVS folks who were porting VTAM to
MVSjr (aka GCS) and didn't speak SFS very fluently.  Come to think of
it, does GCS support SFS at all?  Especially then?


Before there was GCS, there was VSCS - a machine that ran either VS1 or VSE for the sole purpose of running VTAM. I remember that its announcement was booed by the audience at the Guide I was attending.
