That site has some software which allows development of assembler (HLASM) code. It actually runs it in a Java virtual machine. It also has emulation for VSAM and CICS. But there is no support for JCL. And no support for other languages such as COBOL. So, if you are developing assembler level CICS code, then you might be able to use this software. It is cost free. Many people on the assembler list really like it. I haven't had any time to try it. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
