Unfortunately, I was not able to renew my license due to (1) financial problems due to my mother becoming extremely ill and (2) lack of need. I had hope to be able to use it to port the GNU toolchain to z/OS. OK, my head was much, much larger than my talent. The company does not perceive any need for a C/C++ compiler. I happened to get it because I showed where we had licensed VS FORTRAN for years after it was no longer being used. This freed up the money. I also made a fair case that a C compiler would be very helpful for CGI type work. At that time, we were considering doing more CGI work. That has died, so my justification has died. z/OS at this installation is in the same catagory as base TSO (moribund at best). The overt reason is expense. The real reason is <elided to avoid being fired>. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
