more OSF (and other) topic drift & trivia: I remember one OSF meeting
where the official DEC rep I knew from the 70s and had been at the
science center and vm370 development group.

the science center ... some past posts
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#545tech

had done (virtual machine) cp67. As the cp67/cms group grew, it split
off from the science center (on 4th flr, multics was on 5th flr) and
took over the IBM Boston Programming center (on the 3rd flr). As the
group expanded ... especially with work on cp67 morph to vm370 ...  they
moved out to the vacant former SBC bldg in Burlington Mall.

During the FS period
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#futuresys

lots of groups were directed to refocus on FS stuff and suspend 370
activity. When FS imploded, there was mad rush to get stuff back into
the 370 product pipelines. As part of that, the head of POK eventually
convinced corporate to kill the vm370 product, shutdown the Burlington
Mall group and move everybody to POK to work on MVS/XA (or otherwise
MVS/XA wouldn't ship on time some 6-7 years later).

They weren't going to tell the VM370 people until the various last
minute to minimize the number that could escape the move to POK, however
the information managed to leak and some number managed to escape (there
was joke that head of POK was one of the largest contributors to DEC
VMS, some others showed up at Prime). There was also a witch hunt for
the source of the leak ...  fortunately for me, nobody gave up the
source.
