By the way: most of the new development on IBM systems (for example LE) is done in C, as you can see by looking at the LE modules.
C is not very widely used by IBM customers; there are only few large companies in germany using C/370 for mission-critical apps. But I have the impression that an increasing part of system-related development for mainframes is done in C, by IBM and others. The guy who wrote the article has never heard of this, I guess. C is simple, working, portable, great fun (personal opinion). Regards Bernd > > There is a lot of stuff bubbling around in IBM also.
