> not even bold in the terminal to highlight your current line in EDIT

CMS EDIT was designed when the 3277 was the standard terminal. Those things had a SYSTEM AVALIABLE indicator on the center of the right side of the screen, outside the text area. That was the current-libe marker! When the 3278 came out, all the indicators moved to before the text area, but by then, everyone had moved to EDGAR or XEDIT.

I'm guessing neither EDGAR and XEDIT fall into the friendly license of VM/370...

They do not. That's why we have EE.

Yes. But it's also you :-)

Weird? Let's talk about the Unix userspace commands!

There is as an APL system for VM/370, but IBM's licensing restrictions prevent the VM/370 Community Edition from pre-installing it.

Dammit IBM. And, if we say the H-word in IBM circles, we get banished.
