I don't know where it came from, it was just a reel of tape that arrived
on my desk one day. That was one of my first tasks as a new sysprog in
1983. What I really remember was users asking for changes to the
screens, and the only way to edit them in V1 was by fiddling with the
hex 3270 codes, which I did. V2 came with a screen editor and was a
much more complete product in other ways too. It was kind of like
someone said, "V1 is good enough, ship it" when it really wasn't ready
for prime time. V2 probably should have been the first to ship.

Hello, all,
I am curious about the history and evolution of INFO/MVS and related products
INFO/VM-VSE and INFO/MANager,
Does anyone recall ever hearing anything about the history of the INFO/OZS
products?
How and where was it developed? Who developed it? (which IBM offices or
labs?) etc.
OZS seems to bear many similarities to IBM's internal RETAIN system used by
SEs, FEs and CEs in support of customer sites.
Does anyone know if any of the design or ideas or code from the original
internal RETAIN system were used to develop INFO/OZS?
I was just curious as to where INFO/OZS may have originated, how it was
developed, etc.
Thanks in advance.
All the best,
Mark S. Waterbury
