You mean a 'new' technology like this reference? VMSHARE has been the conferencing system of the VM Cluster of SHARE since August 1976. After VMSHARE was closed down in August 1998 it was decided that the database should be kept available for reference. Read here the announcement of that by Ross Patterson. The best way to get a feeling for what VMSHARE meant to its users is probably by browsing through the VMSHARE Archives where you will find appends like this.

EXCUSE ME?!? The mainframe community has had (1) SHARE and (2) the CBT tape (et al) for decades - many decades. (I wouldn't lump GUIDE into the same category, but it did belong in a similar category.) The mainframe community also supported city, area and regional user groups for quite a few of its subcomponents for many, many years -- up until the advent of the internet, which brought communication without travel requirements.

Xephon did a great job in providing this service through the years. But in this day and age I don't see the need for an expensive service like this. If you look at the open source communities you will see lots of code and ideas freely exchanged between users. Apart from the several listservers the mainframe community is the only one that lacks this kind of open exchange of ideas and code.

Re: Xephon, are they still in business?
Hi! Just in case if you've not noticed. Xephon stopped sending printed issues and it's just pdf format such that each subscriber can download and print it if you like. But...they have've also changed their pricing too for new and existing customers. Check the web site. Cheers Timur -- From: "Mark T.

I'm subscribed to their TCP/SNA quarterly, but I have not received the March 2008 issue yet. It's not posted to their web site either and so far I have not had any response from them when I asked about it via their contact page. Thanks Mark T.

Yes, they're in business, but they're owned now by zJournal. Try their new address - http://www.xephonusa.com On Mon, 14 Apr 2008 06:17:31 -0700, Mark T.

Xephon, are they still in business?
Is Xephon still in business? I'm subscribed to their TCP/SNA quarterly, but I have not received the March 2008 issue yet. It's not posted to their web site either and so far I have not had any response from them when I asked about it via their contact page. Thanks Mark T.
