Agreed about WSED. As for the shell environment, not even a remote possiblility until the "kernel" can run without sucking up so much CPU that it chokes a T-rex (i.e., get rid of all the busy-wait loops), and not until X11 is ported and supported fully so that KDE and/or gnome GUI environments can be used, along with all of the GNU applications and utilities.
IMHO, of course. Peter -----Original Message----- From: Edward E. Jaffe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 12:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: TSO replacement? [WAS: RE: Userids] <Snipped> WSED cannot be considered a general TSO/ISPF replacement. More to the point, you're giving IBM waaay too much credit here. When TSO/E development was unstaffed, nobody had even heard of Java or Websphere. Heck, they hadn't even heard of the Web! If anything, maybe someone thought that the shell environment for z/OS UNIX (back then called MVS Open Edition) would be a viable replacement.
