You are right about Victory. All I can say is that the distributed code you are all running was written by IBM and had no code from SSI in it. Never did. It was designed and written from scratch.

"State Street Bank would like to announce the wedding of IBM and Systems Strategies!" 1993 IBM buys intellectual property rights for ezBridge from SSI MQSeries was the MVS implementation, IBM paid SSI to implement the MQI API in ezBridge to give the distributed systems coverage Otherwise Gary Ward's timeline is fairly definitive Brian S.
