The original version of these were presented as five 'Brown Bag' (BYOL) lectures,

      at Northern Illinois University, 12 noon to 1 pm, Nov. 12, 14, 19, 26, and 28, 2007
Successively updated versions of these lectures have been presented at:
     SHARE 110, The IBM Large Systems Users Group, at Orlando in February, 2008,

Mainframe Operating Systems "Boot Camp" Parts 1 - 6

Note: For SHARE 112 a Part 6 was added to the presentation. The printed material

for Part 6 provides a list of "Terms Mainframe Systems Programmers Should Know".

The presentation of Part 6 consisted of Highlights from Parts 1 - 5 for those who missed
some or all of Parts 1 - 5 and served as a Preview for those who might be considering

attending "Boot Camp" sessions at future SHARE meetings.
