As a person evaluating the possibility of transporting modern software
to the VM/CMS environment, I stronly believe that CMS was in fact
written by the persons who foisted CP/M on the world, because, it is
essentially an EBCDIC version of CP/M running on a 32-bit machine.
This opinion is based on the facilities provided by the CMS 
"operating system."  Even OS/360 had file names longer than
what CMS provides, not to mention catalog support.
