Hi All,
I've been working on Mainframe since 1979. I love this thread.
Here's my idea. IBM should focus on building a World Class unix, and
provide full, seamless (TSO/ISPF ported to the dark side) access to the classic
side of z/OS for those that need it.
Rocket have a decent port of Vim for z/OS UNIX which I've been using for
months now. Can't say I miss ISPF when I'm working in the shell.
Totally different model, but.....
Thanks!

You really need at least two TSO sessions (per system), and some here have up
to six or so. As far as I know, that still requires multiple logon IDs.

Another reason that I like the UNIX shell is that I can have a number
of them all going at once (telnet or ssh multiple times) so that a
"long running" command does not stop me from doing other things. ISPF
can't really process its multiple screens well. I.e. I can't do a REXX
exec in an edit session (issuing a lot of ISREDIT commands, perhaps
looping) and, while that is running, swap screens over to SDSF to see
how a batch job is running and examine its output.
