Isn't that what Programmer's WorkBench was alp about. We had picked up random stuff out of PWB (notably the shell) at JHU, but didn't really use the PWB aspects of it. My first job after college (intermixed with writing some design documents for the database system I was supposed to be working on ) was helping the QA department setup the procedures to use PWB (SCCS and various other things) to implement the software engineering environment. While PWB was sort of targeted on RJE submittal to IBM mainframes, we were using it to control the software development for a RSX-11M based intelligience system.
