FWIW, I told Mainline on Saturday that we would *not* be renewing our SoftwareXcel contract (it expires January 27). I want first-hand experience tryna get support for z/OS, z/VSE and z/VM without a SoftwareXcel/Software Care entitlement. (My technical contact over there said he would be "lost without IBMLink." Haha! We'll see if I am too!)
I already know what it's like having SoftwareXcel for 30 years, so I should be in a good position to observe if there are significant "gaps" in what we get for free vs the paid subscription. No matter the outcome, it's gonna make a *great* SHARE Bit Bucket segment!!!! -- Phoenix Software International Edward E.
