The ABC's of systems programming series are actually fairly good for something 
like refreshing your memory and showing how to now do things which may have 
changed in the past 10 years.

Honestly though, if you were fairly good 10 years ago, you will be able to 
maintain a site now as it's far simpler than it "used to be".  I think a lot of 
what you will run into is the wondering why it was so hard to do something 
before when it's so simple now.

z/OS 1.5 was where a lot of the newer stuff began and since you were 1.6 you 
are already ahead of that.  Most of the newer interesting stuff happened in 
1.12 and up, but it's all pretty simple to catch up with.  Just don't assume 
that because you "had to do it" some way 10 years ago that it's still that way 
now.  One of the big changes at IBM was to ask Systems Programmers what was 
"hard" to work with and they tried to address that as things moved forward.
