Virtual edit
I would say it was "virtual" in the sense that it abstracted the underlying hardware layer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.190.82.16 (talk) 12:05, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- Any access method abstracts away the underlying hardware. Virtual is in the name simply because IBM was releasing it for OS/VS rather than OS/360. Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 14:12, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

ACF/VTAM not the first edit
Prior to ACF/VTAM, IBM had chargable compilers, utilities and OS extensions, e.g., VM/SE. Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 19:27, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
Desired timeframe of references edit
I can add references to the article, but I need to know whether to add the oldest documents I have access to or the most recent. Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 20:11, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
"Communications" edit
Recently a copyeditor, User:Milesandkilometrestogo, changed all occurrences of "communications" to "communication." This sounds just plain wrong to my ear, although apparently he has a reasonable amount of computer background. I'd suggest changing it back. Anyone else want to chime in?

- Hello and thank you for reviewing my copy-edit. I had changed the world 'communications' to 'communication' in some places as it seemed more appropriate to me. However if I am wrong, I will gladly welcome anyone to rectify my mistakes. With regards, Milesandkilometrestogo (talk) 09:08, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
- That's why I posted here. Rather than just go by my opinion I'd like to hear from others. Thanks for your good work.Peter Flass (talk) 10:35, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
- I agree that communication (singular) sounds wrong, and I would perefer using communications. However, IBM is not consistent; while the name VTAM uses the plural, the name ACF uses the singular. So as long as the product names are correctly given and other uses are consistent, it's a matter of taste. Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 16:59, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
