       | 
       |  _"The best source is the CBT CD-ROM, which contains Rick
       | Fochtman 's OS/360 distribution. This has not only the OS/360
       | distribution files, but also the source to the operating system
       | and utilities, as well as some useful documentation. There are
       | many, many other useful files and utilities on the disk, and it's
       | a must for anyone wanting to experiment with OS/360, as well as
       | any systems programmer on a modern OS/390 or z/OS system.
       | Ordering information is at the CBT Tape site."_
       | 
       | That CBT Tape site is a sight to behold even if you have no plans
       | to run OS/360: https://www.cbttape.org/. Bonus link:
