long ago and far away, fulist/browse were available as 5785-HAB somewhere along the way some employee did a version for the ibm/pc released under the productivity family of personally developed software. archaic trivia ... the service processor for 3090 was a pair of 4361s running a highly customized version of vm370 release 6 and all the service screens were done in ios3270. earlier i had redone the fulist, browse, and ios3270 source code so that i could reside in shared segment (early 1979). this was returned to Theo and integrated into standard release and shipped later in 1979. from somewhere long ago and far away: X-To: Users of FULIST/BROWSE (5785-HAB) Subject: DCSS version of FULIST/BROWSE You will shortly be receiving 20 class S DISK DUMP files.
