The notion that the Connetix gadget "ain't *really* virtual memory
because they didn't solve the static allocation problem" is silly.
OS/VS1 provided a 16 megabyte 370 running MFT, and the first versions
of OS/VS2 provided a 16 megabyte machine running MVT.  OS/MVS
now provides each job with a separate address space, but that
surely ain't required.   So, don't mistake dynamic relocation
in logical addresses with dynamic relocation in physical addresses.

Yes, Virgil, it really is virtual memory.  They, quite wisely,
didn't try to fix everything else at the same time.....
