Talk:CP/CMS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article has been created to record information about CP/CMS as distinct from VM, IBM's successor system. VM/370 was a reimplementation of CP/CMS, and for a period both systems had their own independent existence. The historical importance of CP/CMS would seem to justify its separate coverage here. There is a good deal of detail, on the premise that it is better to have too much and pare it down, than to have gaps. This is especially true since much of this material is not easily available on-line.

Additional related articles have been created for CP-40, History of CP/CMS, and some related topics referenced in the text.

The author will shortly tackle the VM and VM/CMS articles, combining their content and citing the CP/CMS article for historical material. Please feel free to contact the author with any questions or comments. And naturally, feel free to whack away at anything you disagree with or think should be handled differently.
