AT&T offered their portion (the UNIX) piece for sale. The part of TSS which it ran on was a modification of RSS (the kernel of TSS) modified by IBM on an RFP basis for AT&T and called SSS. This was only allowed to be sold to AT&T. It did indeed run "standalone" on 370 hardware as written up very nicely in the BSTJ. It also ran under VM very nicely because most anything IBM does runs under VM. tom jermoluk hplabs!hppcgo!jermoluk UNIX is a trademark of AT&T Bell Laboratories
