Hi Peter,
There is another solution ... make PL/xxxx available especially to
students/enthusiasts/hobbyists.
While doing that, provide an "amateur" version of z/OS for the same
crowd and allow *anyone* to run it on Hercules (or equivalent) on
Intel/AMD hardware.
It's not yet (but almost) too late to stop the Big Iron golden goose
from dying.
These 2 suggestions might cause a renewed interest for next generation
mainframers.
(Unfortunately, however, it's 40 years too late to reverse the illogical
OCO policy.)
Regards,
David

Regarding PL/X documentation, wouldn't sharing such information outside of IBM, in the
absence of having some sort of license agreement, be "bad form" (or worse)?
