Implementing MVS under *NIX is easy - run Hercules/390 and MVS 3.8j

z/OS program could run on a *NIX platform would be something else. And
it is easier to simply recompile your applications to run under *NIX or
Windows by getting a compatible COBOL compiler.

I was joking of course, but I meant the latter. "Emulate" (?) an MVS
environment under *nix. Call it "Unix MVS System Services", or
just MSS for short. :-)
Ahhh! The memorable Mass Storage System. Pluck, shuck, and play.
ISTR it was the 3950, but I could be wrong. I wrote training for
it back when I was with IBM; even had it translated into German.
But I can't find the books now (this was 1974-75 after all).
