All my best ideas are already taken it seems.(tm) Thanks John for helping me to say things in the correct way. It's not pendant.
I should have said to port OpenVMS to VM running on System z. I saw Sine Nomine's presentation at Guide SHARE this year about porting Open Solaris to z/VM on System z. I was completely mesmerized by it all. I asked the lead developer how he started something like that and the first step was to get gcc to produce z object code. I was thinking today, but how to compile the changes to the compiler? John answered and didn't think about starting with the original system. Whoever is doing OpenVMS I hope to hear about it at the next conference! -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rich Smrcina Sent: 18. syyskuuta 2008 19:33 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Porting a new operating system There is a project underway to port OpenVMS to System z.
