i don't see why unix systems services on z/os can't be called unix. it has
all the standard services of any other unix that i know of (albeit from my
very limited experience). it has ftp, web server(s), telnet, dns, cron, and
all that rot, and looks to me like any other unix implementation. the only
major difference i know of is that it uses ebcdic instead of ascii.

what's missing?
