[TriLUG] MVS mainframes

[Judy Hallman]

Oh, that goes WAY back. We had a series of small books at UNC on how to 
use MVS. I saved a sampling over the years. They are now in the 
University archives in Wilson Library -- in Box #3 of the Computation 
Center collection, probably under my name, Judy Hallman. They are 
accessible by phone call a day in advance because I'm scanning a lot of 
that stuff to include in "UNC-Chapel Hill Computing History" at 
http://www.ibiblio.org/comphist/

There's a list of materials that are in the collections at 
http://www.ibiblio.org/comphist/node/25, which includes:

Communicating with System 360/370, PG-7-74, Fall 1974
