I share your pessimism on this, we aren't going to have a z/OS (or a clone) to play with. IBM has made it clear enough - if you want to develop pay big buck or you can play with MVS 3.8 if you are just a hobbyist. I guess all that is left to hobbyists is to start hacking the guts of MVS 3.8 and bring it a little closer to the real thing. Say bigger address spaces. Oh well ... Mohammad
