Now I have a new whine. :( Someone contacted me off-list to try the Internet Archive to see if I could resurrect the information. Unfortunately, the latest version there was from December of 2004. :( Then, I noticed a link to this page: http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/linux/apps/all.html which has this verbiage: "A pre-generated link that returns a list of applications that execute on Linux for System z from the Global Solutions Directory using English as the language selection, System z as the hardware platform, and Linux as the operating system may be viewed through this direct link." That link being: http://www-304.ibm.com/jct09002c/gsdod/searchprofile.do?name=Linux%20on%20z/OS%20solutions If you decode the %20s to blanks you get this argument: name=Linux on z/OS solutions Argh!! I'm sure whoever did the work didn't realize that /systems/z/os/linux didn't indicate a relationship to z/OS, but it still grinds on my nerves. Even ignoring that, I can't say I'm very confident in the data from this set of pages either. Although listing 941 products (versus 1600+ on the _really_ bad search page), it has things in there that just don't make much sense. So, just FYI, caveat emptor for anyone that happens to stumble across this list.
