Ouch! I can imagine such a thing. But it would really only work "properly"
if the writer of the TSO program is an expert in how to use GDDM in order
to render multiple fonts as well as GIF,  PNG, or JPEG images on a TN3270
emulator which supports GDDM graphs. In my opinion, this is a serious waste
of talent. I don't know what a "z/OS WIKI" really is. We don't host a Wiki
on z/OS, although I do have a Wiki running on a <blech> Windows IIS box
which is z/OS oriented (internal use only).

Instead of a Wiki being on z/OS, I (personally) would probably just keep
the Wiki entries in z/OS UNIX files in "Markdown" format (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown ) Basically markdown is a very
simple, human readable, format for documentation. It's main plus is that if
it is done correctly, it is simple to render into HTML (there are programs
to do this) while being perfectly readable as-is by people.

Wasn't there something about a PASCAL programmer knowing the value of
everything and the Wirth of nothing?
