When I worked for the Ontario government in the early 1980's, we had four 3033's all named after the original colours that they had been as 370's. They were all blue by the time I started working there, but there we signs over each one stating which colour they were and you could use the /*ROUTE JCL card to actually state which colour you wanted the job to run on

One thing I noted was the bit about the colors - how each upgraded system had to be a different color. You were probably one of the very few shops that picked green and brown from IBM. These actually were standard paint options for many systems during the late 1970s, but as far as I can see, were almost completely unpopular. -- Will ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
