I'll cede that to the admirable work of Don Higgins:
http://www.z390.org/
... or to the Hercules project, with which I'm even less familiar.
But I've long wondered whether more address spaces are created by
fork() or by classic job step initiation. When/if the balance
tips to the side of fork(), it would make sense to optimize for
that, and make job step initiation the dependent function.
BTW, now that I'm following a topical thread, I'll digress that it's
ironic how much noise has been generated about how quiet IBM-MAIN
is. Please, think before you "me too!"
