trivia ... (at least) 80s&90s ... the various vendor UNIX ports to
mainframe ran under vm370 ... the issue was relying on vm370 for error
handling/recovery/EREP ...  because adding such capability to UNIX was
several times larger effort than the straight-forward ports ... *AND*
hardware field support said they wouldn't maintain system w/o it.

more trivia, UTS was AT&T UNIX port ... but aix370/aixesa was port of
UCLA's (unix work-a-like) LOCUS (and unrelated to workstation
AIX). LOCUS provided for distributed transparent operation across
dissimilar architecture (aix/370 was announced in combination of aix/386)
