Then I saw the way he exposed the iommu to user space (the bang for the buck was for VMs but researchers that were doing user space networking also used it), that hit my radar screen as really good work. He's had a long career of doing useful stuff, pretty much everything he's touched has gotten better.

This version is from 1981 and I think it's v7. But the important thing is that Tom Lyon wrote a 3270 terminal driver, and it comes with ned, which is a screen editor that feels a lot like XEDIT--which wasn't even in CMS at that point, although EE has been added to the VM370 Community Edition I'm using. And the man pages are fullscreen as well. > > UTS is very, very usable because of that.
