Yes. Dignus has such a beastie. Works well. I actually had their C cross-compiler and HLASM cross-assembler on my Linux/Intel system at home, not on z/Linux. Unfortunately, the purpose for which I had acquired it "disappeared" and I did not feel that I could afford it just "for fun". That may no longer be true since they now have a "hobbist" license (which I doubt you could use). http://www.dignus.com There is also a very old port of GCC which runs on z/OS. I never could get it to work properly. I don't know if there is a current port of GCC for z/OS or not. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
