A General-Purpose Remote Job Entry System For The “Virtual Machine” Environment
Dennis Klein · INFOR Information Systems and Operational Research · 1972
A system known as “Remote Systems Power” (RSP) has been developed as a functional extension to Control Program-67. CP-67 is a “Virtual Machine” operating system, originating from IBM’s Cambridge Scientific Centre. The version run on the Systems Corporation Model 67 has been extensively revised by SCL Systems Analysts. The function of RSP is to permit spooling of input/output files between Virtual Machine devices (virtual card reader and punch, and virtual printer) and remote medium or high-speed terminals. Since Virtual Machines may run any operating system, RSP provides the User with the ability to submit jobs to and receive output from any such system (e.g. DOS/360, OS/360, CMS, APL, etc.).
