Re: Green screen to GUI

I didn't think anybody was still alive that remembered the
1401.

My first "real" job was on a 360/30 running BG,F1,F2.

Don't forget the 1401.
The first system to popularize RPG.

There's a working System/3 simulator (google SIMH) for the PC which
includes the RPG & Cobol compilers.  Unfortuately no CCP.

1401 emulation was included with the 360/370.  You could run hercules
(360/370/390 hardware emulator) and have the 360 RPG compiler as well.

You didn't go quite far enough back in the old
"way back" machine.

The legacy machine for all that we currently work on started
out waaaay back in 1971 on the System/3. This was the beginning
of what we all call the "midrange" systems.

With very little or no changes, many of the programs written for
the System/3 could be run on the current box.
