Thank you.

So, as the other poster said, there is no GLOBAL LOADLIB in those early versions
of VM and CMS?

Do you know what was the purpose of introducing LOADLIBs later, and: did the
simulated OS LOAD macro use LOADLIBs in later versions?

Is there some kind of history of VM somewhere on the web which answers such
technical questions (not only historical stories of people and places)?

Thank you, kind regards

Bernd
