It's not rogue, it provides a platform to experiment on to produce ideas for the improvement of z/OS. Such as allowing the READ routines to execute in AM64. BTW, "rouge" means "red", hence the clever jokes. :-) >development of MVS/380 (and VSE/380) to run on Herc as 32bit, not 31bit.

It would be good if z/OS had all the capabilities proven to work in MVS/380, yes. >Paul, If you are going to create your own operating system, then you >have to acknowledge that there will be differences and you can't expect >the real operating system people to change a major item just to remove >those differences. It's z/OS's loss if they don't support 4 GiB of memory for 32-bit programs. >This is a list about z/OS, OS/390 and MVS, not some rouge, non-IBM >operating system. My change request is for z/OS to be as good as Windows etc, even when running 32-bit programs. Not just as good as MVS/380. The mainframe has copped some flak for only having 31-bit addressing when everyone else manages 32. I'm attempting to remove that. >Now that I understand where you are coming from, I >personally would like to see you banned for wasting our time. Wow. Suggesting LOC=32 for z/OS is a bannable offence? BFN.
