I think maybe. We had an RFP open and RCA bid on it and were in the final
round. I think they called it the Octoputer. Then they made a $10M dollar
accounting mistake and Sarnoff pulled the plug on their computer business.
Anyway the winner was Sperry and they chunked in an RCA Spectra 70
I forgot to mention OC/EC (OS/ES), the Soviet era fork of OS/360 that also
borrowed from later IBM operating system releases but that evolved in its
own localized way. There was also a DOS/EC. OC/EC and DOS/EC ran on the ЕС
ЭВМ (ES EVM) mainframes, a line of machines that were instruction set
I have a few more additions:
1. These Japanese operating systems are probably worth mentioning:
Hitachi VOS3
Fujitsu MSP
Fujitsu XSP
VOS3 and MSP are proven forks of IBM MVS/XA (at least, and likely also
MVS/ESA). XSP might be a fork of DOS/VSE. (I'm less familiar with that
one.) If you want to
I think Amdahl also had UTX as a follow on to UTS.
And there was ASPEN (code name?) that was an "MVS" like O/S that
Amdahl had.
In the "DOS" line was DOS/MVT. Not sure if it is still in existence.
For those interested: OBS/WYLBUR became ACS/WYLBUR. It had
support for JES2 up to OS/390 1.3

How about homegrown OS?
When I started working on contract to NASA at the Goddard Institute for
Space Studies in NYC, June 1976, they ran Scientific Supervisory
System/360 (SSS/360) on an IBM 360/95 and a copy under VM/370 R3 on an
Amdahl 470/V6. SSS/360 was about 35,000 lines of Assembler code.

Assembler mentality. It's the CC mask for a BC to branch around the next step.

Sounds like a CONd job to me

Our entire shop was based around Wylbur/orvyl. some of the developers got
free time on our mainframe so we would get wylbur with updates and free
maint. for over 20 years. It had a very powerful utility language behind
it sort of like a stripped down REXX. This was back in the 70's and 80's

Yes, it was in my original list. Hmm, I thought I remembered that the original
developer was named "Dick Pick". That turns out to be correct, but don't Google
it! :(

Dear, I have a point to clarify, If we have in some Procsteplib, and also

Back in the days when the need JCL was designed, people recognized the need for
conditional execution of a job step. However, it was already late in the
