MVT was intended for the largest machines in the System/360 family, introduced in 1964, but it did not become available until 1967. Early versions had many problems and the simpler MFT continued to be used for many years.In later decades, MVT had been developed into MVS, then OS/390, and now z/OS.
Although officially PCP, MFT and MVT were not a separate operating systems from OS/360,
