I assume you mean USS and not Linux on Z. I am not speaking out of school to say that Wells Fargo is a HUGE user of Linux on Z. Marcy Cortes has a SHARE talk "Penguins on the Stagecoach."
Any C or C++ program -- assuming the IBM C/C++ compilers -- is using USS (I would say USS services but that would be redundant). So I guess all of the customers for my CorreLog -- now BMC -- security product are "using UNIX."

Other than the implicit use of UNIX by things such as FTP, I mean. In particular I am speaking of keeping production data in a UNIX file, rather than a legacy dataset; use of scripting via /bin/sh, awk, or other, use of any of the BPX* UNIX callable services. Just curious. I use awk at times for doing stuff in my personal activities. But my manager dislikes UNIX so I can't use it in any of my "production" jobs because "nobody knows UNIX" and "everybody knows REXX". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
