... Sure, I remember the the B21/22 range - I was an instructor in Sales Training from mid-1982 to mid-1984 and cut my teeth on Multiplan and Word Processor.Later (around 1987) switched back to sales in Banking Sector and got immersed in BTOS and FSA Finesse and some home-grown data comm applications handling upstream SNA and downstream TDI-Poll/Select (where a B39 was used a concentrator for up to 16 x S4000 cheque processors and also for IBM host communications as well as logging everything to local disk for reporting).
Later, took over BTOS/CTOS Marketing and ran the show until the early 1990's...
I remember having a particularly soft spot for one 3rd party CTOS application - Fasport from Software Research, Inc. in Cleveland (Will Limkemann's firm) - particularly in it's final incarnation as Fasport2000. Developed some systems with that product:
a) Golf Scoring with real-time leaderboard display
b) HR Skills Inventory and Profile Matching
c) Audio Dealer Client Management and Inventory
d) Municipal Services Billing
e) Banking Behavioural and Credit Scoring
etc...I was particularly angry when - in 2000 - they quietly pulled the plug on CTOS (and still mutter about it from time to time).
BTW, did you ever manage to lay your hands on a copy of the one book on CTOS ever published - "Exploring CTOS"? I've still got mine...
