Jay got me what I was looking for - but - if this originated on the PDP-11 that would be the exact one no doubt that I remember from 1975-78, Xavier University had a PDP 11/73 and that got replaced at the end of my freshman year with a PDP 11/780 and those were my memories of mainframe usage in college. My first Cobol class was punched cards that I had to submit and get back with the errors and a 52-card pickup at the end. But I was actually using a computer - which was a wonder then to a kid. RSTS was the OS I believe.
Ancient history now, but decided to play with MVS in retirement. Much the same as best I remember, but I have spent all my years in Unix (and Windows Admin) and it's all a distant and pleasant memory learning Pascal, Cobol and Fortran. Once sure thing, the computer itself back then was in a nice little glass room where I was not allowed......
So being the owner and SysProg is a daunting task and I am finding a steep learning curve but one keeping my mind engaged, I am one that must figure it out - eventually, cussing along the way.

If all you are looking for is the Fortune Cookie program and/or data
files, CBT file 169 has the old PDP-11 file, and CBT file 547 has
Volker's fortune cookie program and data, I believe.
