Pete,

With all due respect, I disagree.  Although I am unable to find a program
created before V2R1 that I still use, I have found several files created on
a System/38.

I am currently looking at a file created 12/31/84 (It happens to be a
Federal Withholding Tax Rate file, so the date seems logical - despite the
fact that the file is physical).  It was created on System/38 Release 6.0.

It clearly shows that the date last used is 3/30/98, which is the last day
that I ran payroll.

Do I not understand something about your response??
