I replied directly to Mark Waterbury, but there seems to be slightly more
interest in this topic. I was the original author (the "O" in OZS) but it
was a long time ago, before all the modern
databases/forums/newsgroups/networks existed. I believe it helped set the
mindset for much later work.

Was "irewalls" a typo? I like it either way! We should rename them that in many
cases.

I have no idea, but one approach is to find an old manual for the product
(bitsavers?), and
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
The info/man, I remember came out around 1981. It was used for a problem
management and change control in an MVS environment.

Was it only 15? I thought it was 20 or more, back when I was in VM support.

I don't know how many people actually worked in the IBM office in Dubuque.
In a news article I found there was an indication that at one point there
was 1,300+ staff members. That said, IBM closed down the operations in
Dubuque in late 2020.
