Re: VTP Assistance Needed
OK! What an interesting trip down memory lane. . .
1. I reassembled the POWER module changing 'ACCOUNT=NO' to 'ACCOUNT=YES' and called it POWERA.
2. I copied POWER SYSIN to POWERA SYSIN and changed

Re: PS/44
There is source for MPS/44 which is a variant of PS/44. However it is incomplete. It is missing the utilities to create the disk and load it. If you do find it let me know.

PS/44
Has anyone found a copy of the installation tapes for this specialized operating system.
PS/44 was designed for the s/360 Model 44, and only allowed Fortran to run.
