The Returns are In
Ok all you CMS hacks, here is the list of letters I got, I hope there
is enough stuff to keep us going.  If not, this at least provides a
mailing list.

Please consider us interested.  We also have a 4341 running VM/CMS
in addition to our UNIX machines and CRAY-1.

We're in a similar situation with lots of smallish (to largeish) IBM
gear.  I for one (being in the IBM camp here, officially at least) would
like to see a newsgroup as you propose.  Keep us posted, please.

I can't see why a network of Unix machines should
pay to broadcast news items on cms.
Why not just start a mailing list?

Having had to actually USE cms for a time, I don't
want to hear any more about it, ever.  However, I'll just unsubscribe.
I hope you can make it more liveable than I ever did!

I would be interested in net.cms
The department of computing services here runs 3 4341s with VM/sp
running CMS.

I will send you a little shell procedure.
A simple thing, but my own.

Some of the user's here, on the arts faculties UNIX,
no practically nothing about computers.
They may however have used CMS in a by rote fashion.
I wrote a programme that warns them when their
knowledge  of VM  is colliding with their  knowledge of
UNIX.  I have  them include a directory in their path
that contains a link to this programme for every popular
CMS command.

What a great idea!  We run various things here, too.  The DCS group has
three 4341's running VM with CMS, APL and other stuff.  We have a Honeywell
DPS/?? running GCOS8, this VAX 11/780 running (you know), and a whole flock
of minis and micros running some commercial stuff and some home-grown things.
I guess this amounts to a supporting vote....

  How does yours work? We at NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research)
have one too, also running VM/SP with CMS interface. Most people here don't
like it much, especially those in the systems group who spend > 50% of their
time writing EXECs just to make the user interface bearable. I hear Bell Labs
is going to come out with a UNIX for the IBM 4300 series. There is a lot of
pressure around here to look into that, because we have 3 11/70's running
UNIX right now. (One of which is node "hao" from whence this comes)

Cliff-
I for one would be interested.  We (Shell Development in Houston) have
at least one IBM4341-II (Shell Oil has LOTS more) and are getting Amdahl
UTS to supplement the minimal offerings of cms.  The is a local decision,
so general ideas, comments, etc with regard to CMS would benefit our group
and others as well.

I'll send in my vote for net.cms or net.vm or whatever.
I seem to be the ONLY person around here with the common sense and
 good taste to realized that IBM produces pretty good software
 a lot of the time.
