A quick search turns up at least a couple of things worth investigating. http://www.wrkgrp.com/unispf/index.html "uni-SPF is available on all major commercial UNIX platforms. It includes 90 days free support, and support is available on an annual contract basis thereafter. Support entitles you to telephone and email assistance in installing and using the product, problem resolution services, and product upgrades." (doesn't mention Linux, but it'd be foolish to ignore Linux while supporting commercial UNIX implementations) The name "SPF-UX" also appears, but I don't see any concrete information about it. I'm surprised not to find an Emacs mode for emulating this environment, since the feature sets seem to have a lot of overlap. In terms of what is available as free software (and likely included with your Linux distribution), most resources point to THE (a name that I've always dismissed as impossible to search for). This resource from IBM is worth a look as well: http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/os/linux/ldt/slate_dev.html -- - mdz
