Talk:Time Sharing Option

I'll have to double check my files, but I believe TSO was based in large part on a system developed at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, called WRAP. WSU discarded WRAP in favor of the MTS system developed at nearby University of Michigan, and sold WRAP to IBM.

Some refs I've found: Google's current excerpt from Memoirs of a Software Pioneer: Part 2, although the IEEEE page now shows a differnt excerpt; Google's current excerpt from An Efficient Virtual Machine Implementation by Ronald J.

We should briefly mention TSO/E, given beginners will still stumble over it in print. But what to say? Martin Packer 11:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

SFP and other "forms-based" UIs; any program products for which TSO was the main interactive vehicle (in the the 1970s GIS meant IMB's Generalized Information System query / reporting package, geog info systems were invented earlier but did not become news until the 1980s).

List of TSO commands?

An editor inserted a list of TSO commands and, in the spirit of WP:BRD, I'm removing it. It seems like excessive detail to me, and I don't believe it's helpful to an average reader. Also, since literally any program can be run from a TSO command line (especially if you don't mind odd behavior), no list of commands can be really comprehensive over the life of TSO.

This edit added it , if you want to see how it looked. Thoughts, anyone? — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 13:56, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
