Subject: Mainframe Assembler Coding Contest



There is a new Mainframe Assembler Coding Contest underway here:

http://z390.sourceforge.net/z390_Mainframe_Assemble_Coding_Contest.htm

I've just added direct link to Powerpoint presentation by Khristine Harper on 
Asembler in the 21 Century.  There is also a new link to upcoming SHARE 
session search page where if you select search by topic, you will find 22 
sessions on mainframe assembler.  There are also now links to the online POP, 
HLASM, and z390 references.

This contest is intended to help new assembly language programmers to learn 
the language and for old timers to share some of their knowledge.
you are welcome to submit as many new problems and solutions as you like.
I'm also still looking for a few volunteer judges to help rank solutions.
Even the simplest problems may have numerious solutions with different 
performance and or results on different machines.  Joining the contest email 
group using Yahoo ID provides access to the submitted programs for 
download, assembly, and execution.  The email group is used for posting 
updates on problems and solution rankings along with contributor names and 
school affiliations.  The email group is also for discussion of the submitted 
solutions.

Currently there are 8 problems posted and proposed solutions have been 
posted on the contest group email site for most but not all of them.  Solutions 
consist of ASCII mainframe assembler source programs which can be 
assembled, linked, and executed using www.z390.org open source portable 
mainframe assembler and emulator on Windows or Linux systems.  Check out 
problem #6 submitted by John Erhman for which no solutions have been 
posted yet.
