This won't help Raymond any, but it reminded me of something.

I used to write a lot of panel apps using a VM program product called Display Management System for CMS. It had interfaces for EXEC/EXEC2, COBOL, PL/I, RPG, and BAL, but I used REXX with no problems. Admittedly it was ISPF-Lite but it did everything we needed for some pretty sophisticated applications. It has a slick (well, for 1980) interactive panel design tool that would let you build anything a 327x could display. DMS was really lightweight and fast, both in time-to-production and execution speed.

Anyone know what happened to it?

I thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

I believe they will work, but recognize that ISPF on z/VM, unlike on z/OS, costs extra. If you have IFLs, a Special Bid is required.
