History and Modernity
MVS is now a part of z/OS, older MVS releases are no longer supported by IBM and since 2007 only 64-bit z/OS releases are supported. z/OS supports running older 24-bit and 31-bit MVS applications alongside 64-bit applications.
MVS releases up to 3.8j (24-bit, released in 1981) were freely available and it is now possible to run the MVS 3.8j release in mainframe emulators for free.

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or modernity:
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The critical method which denies literary modernity would appear—and even, in certain respects, would be—the most modern of critical movements.”
—Paul Deman (1919–1983)
