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 :-)

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.
