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.

I know of sites actively running it (INFOMAN) and of companies developing for
it and then there is this:

I worked in Darwin, NT, from 1980-1989. We would get a periodic tape for
INFOMAN which contained a copy of RETAIN. We used it extensively in researching
problems. Could not do without it.

Does anyone remember Info/Access? It allowed the systems programmer to
formulate a query on your terminal and then it would initiate a dial-up
connection, at least in my company, to an IBM database. When the results were
available IBM would dial us back and return the results. Sort of like RETAI

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.
