     <operating system> (VM) An IBM pseudo-operating system
     hypervisor running on IBM 370, ESA and IBM 390
     architecture computers.
  
     VM comprises CP (Control Program) and CMS (Conversational Monitor System
     ) providing Hypervisor and personal computing
     environments respectively.  VM became most used in the early
     1980s as a Hypervisor for multiple DOS/VS and DOS/VSE
     systems and as IBM's internal operating system of choice.  It
     declined rapidly following widespread adoption of the IBM PC
     and hardware partitioning in microcode on IBM mainframes
     after the IBM 3090.
  
     VM has been known as VM/SP (System Product, the successor to
     CP/67), VM/XA, and currently as VM/ESA (Enterprise Systems
     Architecture).  VM/ESA is still in used in 1999, featuring a
     web interface, Java, and DB2.  It is still a major IBM
     operating system.
