Don, This is a bit off-topic, but I figure that you are the guy that has maybe thought about this with respect to your cool tool.
We do a lot of mixed Java / C++ / Assembler coding in Eclipse, and I've thought that it would be very nice if there were an Assembler syntax editor plugin for Eclipse (like the CDT editor plugin for C/C++). Even cooler if it did a first-pass assembly check-out using your tool as you type, like Java :-) Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com PS> Many will find it heresy not to use ISPF, but we have found that we like to do all of our development in Eclipse and then to use Ant to sync any changes to a zFS file tree and then invoke "make" via an Ant ssh task to do incremental builds. Using 'make' and z/OS shell commands to compile and link is not only useful for building z/OS Unix modules, it works equally well for PDS/PDSE load modules. Old timers may never go for this, but maybe more youngins would be interested in z/OS assembler development if they could use familiar tools. I guess that this is what rDZ is all about, but its a little too heavy weight for me to stomach.
