Do you mean "VM/370" or "VM/CMS"?  If the latter, it really shows that a 370
with CMS running on it is a better development environment than a 370 with MVS
running on it (oops, typoed that as "a 370 with VMS" twice; one thing UNIX has
going for it is that its name has neither a V, nor an M, nor an S in it).  I
doubt that a raw 370 is much of a development environment at all; toggling
(turning?) programs in through the console switches (or the VM equivalent of
same) can't be much fun.
