By the way. Linux on Z requires an IPL in z mode.? But that is just a side note.
The reason I mentioned it here, is because my company owns MVT, and we are working on a z/MVT.? If you don't recall MVT, it was a competitive operating system to VSE.

I certainly remember MVT, but I suspect that we're talking about different OSs. The MVT I knew was a direct predecessor to SVS and then more distantly MVS, and was one of the branches of OS/360, alongside PCP and MFT. Of course it didn't do virtual storage.

Naming a competitor to VSE "MVT" seems like a strange choice to me...
