OUCH!!! Please don't call it z/OS Linux. It is not Linux! It is z/OS UNIX System Services. Linux is a totally different system, although they are similar in user functionality. Linux is an entire OS by itself, separate from z/OS. Linux does not run under z/OS. Linux can run under z/VM as a guest or in an LPAR on the System z. It can also run on a ton of other systems such as Intel (xSeries), pSeries, iSeries, Sun hardware, and even some cell phones. The totally free Cygwin X server works for me in this case. <pedant hat off> -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
