IBM and Univac Unix

[LARRY at JPL-VLSI.ARPA]

From:  Larry Carroll <LARRY at JPL-VLSI.ARPA>

I'm using an IBM 3032 under MVS for software development for the Galileo 
project (a Siamese-twin satellite, one of which will dive into Jupiter's
atmospher).  I am SICK AND TIRED of IBM JCL--at which, incidentally, I am
an expert user (4 years worth).  I also do work for another satellite 
project on a Univac 1100/81 and a VAX.

Are there IBM and Univac versions of Unix that are reasonably close to the
proprietary OSs in performance?  If so, I may go on a crusade here at JPL
to get Unix adopted as a "standard" operating system.

Also, are there shells for the IBM and Univac that will emulate the 
proprietary TSO interfaces.  (We use the SPF primarily on the several IBMs
we have.)
