And z/OS is also UNIX(TM). Indeed, z/OS cannot be called UNIX without being
UNIX. Other UNIX operating systems include AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, and Mac OS
X.
To steer back to the topic at hand, there's a long list of UNIX-related
enhancements listed in the z/OS 2.1 Preview. Many/most of them match what
I'd like to see personally.
Indeed, the following is interesting. If they are planning on
implementing stdio-ext then that will make porting the likes of
autotools much, much easier. And if autotools can be ported then so can
lots more FOSS that requires it.
"Additional file I/O programming interfaces for z/OS UNIX System
Services. These interfaces, while not part of a formal UNIX standard,
have been implemented on other UNIX platforms, and are planned to be
provided with a new header .
This is intended to make it improve the portability for these
applications between z/OS and other UNIX platforms."
