What we have here is a whole bunch of geeks who want something for nothing. And their latest poster boy is a f***ing Russian spy for c****sakes! Yo geeks, giving away your works for free is OK, just remember not everyone can do it; in the real world people have families to feed and they don't appreciate their labor being ripped off by spoiled brats.
IBM had the (overpriced, approx. $15000) 5100 out in 1974. Ran Basic or APL and had a tape drive.

Does anyone know where WATFOR, WATFIV and WATBOL can be obtained for VM/CMS? These systems were done by the University of Waterloo for IBM 370 systems but now seem to be gone. I cannot find anywhere on the web where they may be sold or obtained (I already know about the PC versions, I'm interested in the mainframe versions). Can anybody help?
