Re:  CP PER, Student CMS, Batch, and Unix in general...

CP PER -- Available from University of Maine.  I don't have their address,
	  since our copy of PER came from SAS Institute.  They are
	  probably in VMSHARE, if you have access to it.

Student CMS -- This past semester (Jan-May), we had several classes from
	  campus (Purdue Univ.) use the 4341 processor at LARS.  The
	  response from students was favorable using CMS.  They prefer!!
	  CMS over PROCSY (home-grown, poor excuse for a interactive
	  system), and yes, Unix fans, even Unix!!  (In my opinion,
	  they have excellent taste.)  They were using regular CMS,
	  with no special modifications to the system.

Batch -- You mean there are still people out there using OS for a batch
	 system under VM???  We folks here at LARS (Laboratory for the
	 Applications of Remote Sensing)/Purdue have written a CMS BATCH
	 facility.  It is a rewrite based (very loosely) on CMSBATCH
	 that IBM distributes with CMS.  Ours (I work at LARS...) uses
	 VMCF for communications between a central monitor and the slave
	 machines.  This way, the monitor schedules jobs for execution
	 based on system utilization and rate scheduling criteria.  For
	 further information and/or documentation on it, contact:

		       LARS/Purdue University

		       W. Lafayette    IN    47906-1391
		       Phone: (317) 494-6305 Ext 256
		       net addr:   decvax!pur-ee:langloui

>From the above comments, it's pretty obvious that I'm a CMS bigot.  Unix
is nice (if nothing else is available), especially for mini's.  I would
rather use Unix than RSX, but give me CMS any time!!!
