I had a chance to play with PLUS while I was a student at U. Wisconsin. It was for an independent study course, using a new EXEC the sysprogs had written to provide access to the batch job queue. Managed to crash the 1108 (or maybe it was the 1110) twice in a row owing to a bug in their EXEC. ;) Later they adapted (or completely rewrote) it, and had the job queue displayed on TV screens down in the basement of the Computer Science building in Madison.
