The Pizza Pit

re:
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2008h.html#7 Xephon, are they still in business?

70s use of the internal network (mostly vm370) included rexx evolution

REXX Symposium, May 1995
http://www.rexxla.org/Symposium/1995/report.html

... from above:

Mike discussed his ideas for a new scripting language with colleagues at
Hursley and with other IBMers over IBM's VNET network, which then had
300 nodes in Europe and North America. He sent out the first language
specification and began incorporating the feedback. He typically wrote
and circulated the documentation for each new feature to get feedback on
the desirability of the new function before doing the implementation. He
also typically first wrote a few programs to exercise the new feature
and see whether it was right.

the science center
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#545tech

developed cp40 for a 360/40 with special modified hardware that
supported virtual memory. cp40 morphed into cp67 when 360/67 with
standard virtual memory support became available. 3 people came out from
the science center to the univ. to install it the last week in jan68. It
was "officially" announced at the spring 68 SHARE meeting in houston.

besides traditional customer dataprocessing installations ... there were
some number of commercial online timesharing services built on cp67 and
the later vm370 available on 370s
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#timeshare

one of these services providing commercial online timesharing services
with vm370 was Tymshare. Tymshare opened a version of their online
conferencing system to SHARE as VMSHARE in aug76. Archives are here:

mentioned in the above:

En Route Atomation Modernization
http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/technology/eram/

2001 GAO report on ATC modernization
http://www.gao.gov/cgi-bin/getrpt?GAO-01-725T

from above:

ATC Modernization Is an Ambitious Undertaking

ATC modernization, which was announced in 1981 as a 10-year, $12 billion
program, has expanded and is now expected to cost more than $44 billion
through fiscal year 2005. Of this amount, the Congress appropriated
over $32 billion for fiscal years 1982 through 2001. The agency expects
that approximately $12 billion will be provided for fiscal years 2002
through 2005.
