MXI was indeed acquired by Rocket Software and there is now a licensed version (MXI Generation II) that has *many* enhancements as well as support for the latest versions of z/OS, DB2 and MQ. We are also just putting the CICS plug-in for MXI G2 into beta test and there is also a TCP/IP plug-in in development as well.
The freeware version (MXI 4.3) is still available for download - BUT - it has been "frozen". What I mean by "frozen" is that there will be no future enhancements to MXI 4.3 and over time I expect some commands to either stop functioning or start abending. If you are running z/OS 1.6 or above and use MXI a lot - you should seriously consider upgrading to MXI G2. All the other utilities on the www.mximvs.com website continue to be available for download.
