Bernd is correct, New IBM product development (z/OS) is in C and C++ with support routines in Assembler when required/justified.

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.
