For more Java demos along with their evivalent forms written in HLASM mainframe assembler, HLA Intel assembler, C++, and COBOL visit:
www.mfatc.org Also you could choose to classify the z390 portable assembler and emulator written entirely in J2SE open source Java as a demo. All the classes are packaged into a single z390.jar which supports a Swing GUI interface, macro assembler, linker, and emulator that runs on Windows Vista, XP, or Linux. To download and install on Windows using InstallShield visit here: www.z390.org There are hundreds of "Demo" regression test programs as defined here: http://z390.sourceforge.net/z390_Regression_Tests.htm More recently there is an ongoing z390 Mainframe Assembler Coding Contest (ZMFACC) which now includes a number of intereseting "Demo" solutions submitted in a portable source program form which can now be run run on z390 using J2SE Java plus Hercules 3.8 MVS, z/OS, z/VM with CMS, and VSE. Some of the "Demos" include some intersting things like swapping 2 fields in memory with 2 instructions (no not 3 XC), hash table lookup in 5 instructions, calculating standard deviation to 34 decimal places, calculating Pi to 34 decimal places, calculating recursive Ackerman function values.
