Far out!

I used MVT/VSE, SPRI & PLF extensively in the 80s and 90s.Eventually migrated one shop from MVT/VSE & SPRI to VSE/SP & POWER, but kept PLF. I always thought PLF was an exceptional product. Really liked it.

BTW: The first iteration of SPRI was named SAGE. Software Pursuits enhanced MVT/VSE in the 80s and also announced SPRI.

I didn't know Software Pursuits was still around. I wonder how many users of the mainframe products there are. Larry Salveson modified DOS with multiple 'regions' and an enhanced Spooler while working for a bank ( I believe) in the San Francisco Bay Area . He went to his management to try to get them to market it and they declined, but said he could have the product. That's when he started SPI.
