Most "youngins" would tolerate ISPF/PDF much better if the default profile
distribution had reasonable settings.
Whoever developed the CUA ISPF/PDF settings (command @ bottom, tab to
pull-down, etc.) certainly never used ISPF for better productivity.
I see great feature developments with each release, why doesn't someone take
the time to build realistic defaults for the distribution?
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Subject: Re: Eclipse Assembler syntax plugin (was: z390 ...)
There is interesting project on sourceforge related with z390:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/z390ide/
It's IDE with debugger for z390 emulator:-)
Unfortunately it has been written in C# so there is a problem on Linux
with Mono:/
PS. Youngins are interested in z/OS assembler development. I think the
problem is not ISPF or XEDIT(z/VM), but because it's impossible to find
any job offer for the fresher...

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.

Here is another HLASM assembler tool update.
z390 Portable Mainframe Assember v1.5.03 with new z196 instructions open
source tool for Windows and Linux was published on Dec. 22, 2010. You
can
download it via www.z390.org or from z390 project on
www.sourceforge.net.
The regression test rt\test\TESTINS1.MLC has been updated to test
assembly
of all the new z196 instructions. There is also a new regression test
rt\test\TESTINS4.MLC which performs some tests on the new problem state
z196 instructions.
