Bottom line, zPDT is available only to software vendors (ISVs).

- From the amount of traffic in this this thread, it sounds like I'm not
the only person who'd appreciate having such a thing available. How can
we customers request such a thing from IBM? If enough customers ask,
I'd hope IBM management would at least consider making such available.
At one point I was running MVS 3.08 under Hercules. I'd have loved to
use something more recent, to refresh and update my skills. I quite
liked writing programs in assembler, but there's little point to writing
for S/370, no matter how well I did it, it would not lead to
employment or software sales.
I couldn't even get the JES2 exits I wrote working, they were written
for a PP JES2.
As for Linux, there's not that much difference between Linux on a
current AMD-64-compatible system and Linux on a Zed - especially an
emulated Zed
