Work in progress. I want to get permission of the author of the pages from which I found the image.

I looked some more and found a screenshot for IBM VM/CMS that looks pretty good. It comes from Fullscreen CMS. Elements of it look very familiar to this veteran VM/CMS user but I've never seen them in a full screen display like this. Maybe that's because I haven't touched VM/CMS in over 15 years.

  • The left frame is the CMS command processor, analogous to a *ix shell
  • The upper right frame looks like a list of the disks attached to the VM - QUERY DISK gives you the information but the borders around the heading cells and columns is new to me.
  • The remainder of the right side looks like a list of the files in the VM's virtual reader. I can't remember the command that produces this output but it makes me think of RDRLIST, an interactive tool to manage the files. Again, the borders are a new thing to me.
