//***FILE 008 now contains the jobs used by Sam Golob to create * FILE 008
//* this tape. This stuff (in Arnie's time) used to * FILE 008
//* be part of File 001, but it was taken out by Sam Golob * FILE 008
//* for lack of space. Also, the jobs at the Connecticut * FILE 008
//* Bank used different JCL than we now use. So we are * FILE 008
//* now re-inserting our JCL on the CBT Tape here in * FILE 008
//* File 008, so you can get an idea about how this tape * FILE 008
//* was created. Load modules for the programs found * FILE 008
//* in this JCL can be found in the member LOADLIB, which * FILE 008
//* is in TSO XMIT format. (DSN: SBGOLOB.CBTCREAT.LOAD) * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* Materials and programs which I use to package the * FILE 008
//* INDIVIDUAL FILES on this tape, may be found on File 006. * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* See member $$$$NOTE which tells you that this file is * FILE 008
//* not really accurate until after production of the tape * FILE 008
//* version is complete. So look on the Updates page for * FILE 008
//* the ACCURATE version of this file, which was actually * FILE 008
//* used to create the previous tape version. * FILE 008

//* * After the tape has been created, using the jobs * * FILE 008

//* * jobs V505J** and the pds'es converted to TSO XMIT * * FILE 008
//* * format using the jobs V505X**. All the files are * * FILE 008
//* * then FTP'ed to the PC. * * FILE 008
//* * * * FILE 008
//* * For zipping, I use WinRAR (the authentic version * * FILE 008
//* * from their web site www.rarlab.com). And then I * * FILE 008
//* * FTP all the zipped files to the www.cbttape.org * * FILE 008
//* * web site. * * FILE 008
//* * * * FILE 008
//* * On the PC, I rename all the zipped files from names * * FILE 008
//* * FILEnnn.zip to CBTnnn.zip, with a capital "CBT". * * FILE 008
//* * These are then uploaded to the www.cbttape.org * * FILE 008
//* * web site to refill the CBT directory there. * * FILE 008
//* * * * FILE 008
//* * Several tape copying and tape mapping programs * * FILE 008
//* * are used, as described in the rest of the NEWT505* * * FILE 008
//* * jobs. The program load modules for these, have * * FILE 008
//* * been supplied in the member LOADLIB. * * FILE 008

//* Member CBTSTATS (dated CBT Version 320) contains * FILE 008
//* some of Arnie's old job stats, which he recorded for * FILE 008
//* his own records. The information in this member * FILE 008
//* contains the (clock time) length of his runs, exact * FILE 008
//* footages, and record counts, etc. I don't want to * FILE 008
//* leave it out. Arnie Casinghino forged the spirit * FILE 008
//* of this collection, and dedicated his every extra * FILE 008
//* effort to its continuance. I had a very big act * FILE 008
//* to follow, in trying to maintain and enhance Arnie's * FILE 008
//* work of 15 years. Arnie definitely set the tone * FILE 008
//* for everything that you see here. * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* Arnie's data on this file extends through Version * FILE 008
//* 320 of this tape. Arnie supported this tape through * FILE 008
//* Version 321. After that point, the management of * FILE 008
//* the CBT Tape was taken over by me (Sam Golob), in * FILE 008
//* Sept. 1990. My first tape version was Version 322. * FILE 008

//* I kept the tape up across an assortment of jobs, * FILE 008
//* and also through the kindness of several data * FILE 008
//* centers, all of whom are owed a big "thank you". * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* VERY VERY SPECIAL THANKS go to the late Gilbert * FILE 008
//* Saint-flour, who left us far too soon. Gilbert was * FILE 008
//* solely responsible for providing a work platform * FILE 008
//* to support the making of this tape, for at least * FILE 008
//* 5 years. He owned a P/390 that he used, to run his * FILE 008
//* business, and he gave me a userid on his machine * FILE 008
//* so I could support the CBT Tape from there. * FILE 008
//* Later on, when I was working at an MVS site in * FILE 008
//* another company, the lines were always open to * FILE 008
//* Gilbert's machine as well, so that everything could * FILE 008
//* be preserved and none of the material ever got lost. * FILE 008
//* BTW this was with written permission from that * FILE 008
//* company. * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* More thanks........ * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* Also, big thanks have to go to Scott Sherer and * FILE 008
//* NaSPA, for contracting to duplicate the tapes after * FILE 008
//* I made the first one. This went on for almost ten * FILE 008
//* years, until we started the www.cbttape.org website * FILE 008
//* at the end of 1998. NaSPA's support began in 1989, * FILE 008
//* when Arnie was still making CBT Tapes at CBT. * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* Even before Arnie's shop lost their tape drives, * FILE 008
//* Scott and NaSPA were already duplicating CBT tapes * FILE 008
//* at Deluxe Check Printers. Credit goes to Marty Kuntz * FILE 008
//* who worked duplicating the tapes at Deluxe. * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* Arnie's "Connecticut Bank & Trust" data center * FILE 008
//* got rid of their tape drives in 1990. * FILE 008
//* (We had about 1 1/2 years' advance warning before * FILE 008
//* we were obligated to completely switch over). * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* Even more special thanks go to Sam Knutson, who * FILE 008
//* started the website, paid for it himself for a while, * FILE 008
//* administers it, and so forth. The fact that he put * FILE 008
//* it on a reliable provider with much redundancy and * FILE 008
//* almost no down time, is a great boon to someone who * FILE 008
//* is doing an IPL of a new system during off hours, * FILE 008
//* especially on a Sunday. * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* We owe a big debt of gratitude to Innovation Data * FILE 008
//* Processing, the makers of FDR and other fine software * FILE 008
//* products, for sponsoring the www.cbttape.org web site * FILE 008
//* during much of its existence (for at least 15 or 16 * FILE 008
//* years by now). Thanks to John Mazzone in particular. * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* If some tool breaks, while you are installing a new * FILE 008
//* version of z/OS, you can hunt around on our site for * FILE 008
//* a newer version of what broke, and the hour doesn't * FILE 008
//* matter. The credit for this convenience, goes solely * FILE 008
//* to Sam Knutson. ([email protected]) * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* Many other pats on the back go to Sam Knutson, also. * FILE 008
//* (This is for a lot of other stuff he does, to * FILE 008
//* constantly contribute, and for his continued and * FILE 008
//* continuous enthusiasm. AND for his sessions at SHARE.) * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* Our gratitute goes out to all the other data centers * FILE 008
//* which have helped me out over the years: * FILE 008
//* (I have left several of them out intentionally, but * FILE 008
//* we still owe all of them a "thank you".) * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* 0- Newsweek, Inc, of course..... * FILE 008
//* Credit goes posthumously to my boss Stan McGinley. * FILE 008
//* 1- First National Bank of Toms River, NJ. * FILE 008
//* Credit goes to Fred Hetzel. * FILE 008
//* 2- Jensen Research Corp. (Credit to Eric Jensen) * FILE 008
//* 3- Brooklyn College of the City of New York * FILE 008
//* (To Howard Givner and the whole crew there) * FILE 008
//* 4- City University of New York * FILE 008

//* 5- DOITT - Department of Information Technology * FILE 008
//* and Telecommunications - New York City * FILE 008
//* (To everyone there--a wonderful environment) * FILE 008
//* 6- The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company * FILE 008
//* (Now also defunct. They were helpful.) * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* ===>> 7- An extra special thank you, of the highest order, * FILE 008
//* must be made to the Open Mainfram Project of the * FILE 008
//* Linux Foundation who (as of September 2020) have * FILE 008
//* made their IBM mainframe available to us for the * FILE 008
//* purpose of software development for CBT Tape * FILE 008
//* products. Thank you to all the people there, too * FILE 008
//* numerous to mention. And thank you to all the * FILE 008
//* CBT Tape contributors who are using this system * FILE 008
//* to further develop their products that we are * FILE 008
//* distributing here. * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* I worked for my father, Milton J. Golob, of blessed * FILE 008
//* memory, for about a year. During that time, I was * FILE 008
//* accumulating contribution tapes (this was before * FILE 008
//* the Internet) in several satchels. My father gave * FILE 008
//* me a few months off, so I could work at an MVS * FILE 008
//* site and make CBT Tapes there. Many thanks to him too! * FILE 008
//* (He allowed me to accept the contract at Brooklyn * FILE 008
//* College while I was still working for him.) * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* More thanks go to the many contributors of material. * FILE 008
//* THE ENTIRE COLLECTION DEPENDS ON ALL OF YOU....... * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* Separate thanks go to people who help me fix things * FILE 008
//* on a regular basis: John McKown, Bill Godfrey, Greg * FILE 008
//* Price, John Kalinich, Ze'ev Atlas, Gabriel Gargiulo, * FILE 008
//* Roland Schiradin, Willy Jensen, Robert AH Prins, Rob * FILE 008
//* Prins (two different people), and many, many others. * FILE 008
//* I can't mention everybody, but many thanks go to you * FILE 008
//* all...!! * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* Other thanks go to people who insisted that I NOT * FILE 008
//* BE ABLE TO MAKE ONE PENNY from this endeavor. It * FILE 008
//* has certainly kept the spirit of the CBT Tape up, * FILE 008
//* and the costs down. All the best of everything to * FILE 008
//* all of you. (I mean it.) YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE...!! * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* R.I.P. to Dave Andrews and John Hooper, my dear friends. * FILE 008
//* And of course to Rick Fochtman, Ken Tomiak, * FILE 008
//* Gerhard Postpischil, and Eugene Vogt. * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* John Hooper is responsible for very reliable code, * FILE 008
//* in CBT File 019. * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* Much of Gerhard's code is in CBT Files 860, 861, & 862. * FILE 008
//* These are very large files, and are worth exploration. * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
//* You all owe Dave Andrews and his former boss, Bill * FILE 008
//* Winters, for the fact that you are able to have the * FILE 008
//* HLASM Assembler. WITHOUT THEM, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE IT. * FILE 008
//* Both of them have also passed on, as has John Ehrman. * FILE 008
//* We have to be grateful to all of them, for their work. * FILE 008
//* * FILE 008
