BTW does anyone know how many people are in digest mode? I have been on
a few lists in digest and never noticed a separate CC was needed.
----------------------<unsnip>-------------------
It's not "needed"; it's a small courtesy that many in digest mode choose
to extend; I do it myself when in digest mode, which isn't very often. I
have no idea who many on this list are in digest mode; frankly, I never
cared.

Its been IBM's mode of writing OS code since OS/360 and if I am not to
far off some version of PLS has been responsible for every release of
OS/360 all the way up to Z/os . of course if ita not done in PLx it was
written in assembler its almost always been one or the other.
If LINUX is written in C then whose version of C is it? DIGNUS/SAS (?)/
or ? it certainly can't be IBM's (at least the one they released to to
the general public).
-------------------<unsnip>---------------------
From what I've seen in looking at various bits and pieces of source
code, PL/S or its replacement(s) have been most heavily used in the MVS
code; not so much in OS/360, except SMP.

From your postings, you're either a visionary or a loon; time will
tell which.

I would hesitate to make a judgement here; in 35+ years I've seen some
pretty strange things happen in this industry.

Its typical of people like you to end the discussion with an ignore. I
tend to read everybody's opinion then form a judgement but with the new
generation if you don't want to hear you just turn them off. Thats up
to you but you are destined to not understand someone else's opinion by
doing so. You will also follow people unquestioningly usually that
shows where you fall.
-----------------------<unsnip>------------------
Don't just blame the "new generation"; it takes all sorts to make a
world. And I've known some pretty opiniated "old curmudgeons" in my
time, who refused to try anything newer than sliced bread! Generation
has very little to do with whether one is soft-headed, hard-headed or
open-minded.
