PWB is the one I started with back in '77ish. Running on Dec 11/70.

When SCO's Unix, which had an IBM-compatible Cobol compiler available,
became available I installed on PC and over time converted our Cobol
development folks to compile, debug, test on the PCs and then install on
mainframe through the PDP 11/70 emulating 3270 terminal into mainframe,
IIRC. Maybe by then it was a VAX 11/780.

When Bourne's shell came around it was a big boost for me - added a lot.
