Thank you! A wounderful hint.

BTW, since we're talking about vintage OSes: anyone knows of a
BS2000 clone, emulator, ...?

http://ts.fujitsu.com/products/bs2000/index.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BS2000

I'm especially interested in an emulation of the old terminal-based
BS2000 before they introduced POSIX compat in 1992 (i.e. BS2000 as
of between 1986 and 1992).

For other emulators of old hardware, we have the great collecton of
/usr/ports/emulators/simh plus images, but nothing BS2000-ish (yet).
Or do we?

TIA,
-cpghost.
