FSVO "acquires".  But in this case, a guilty plea seems to be "the
respect it deserves".

How would you classify the two examples The New York Times reported on
November 5, 1983?

Didn't mean to create confusion with the below statement.

I should have said, "We will begin to functionally enhance OUR OFFERING 
starting with the 2nd release..." to distinguish it from IBM JES3.


I'm just so used to saying "JES3," muscle memory got the better of me... LOL

Subject: Re: Phoenix Software International Announces IBM® JES3 Licensing 
Agreement

Thanks to everyone for all the support. As many of you know, we have been 
working with JES3 for decades, so it's a perfect fit for us.

As a customer focused company, we really listen to what our customers tell us. 
They asked for this, so we stepped up the plate.

We licensed JES3 from IBM for the purpose of extending its life indefinitely. 
Our initial product release (planned for GA March 2020) will be functionally 
equivalent to z/OS 2.4 JES3, but unlike IBM we intend to support back-level 
BCPs (probably z/OS 2.2 and higher since
JES3 has not been enhanced by IBM one iota since that time). So we will be 
looking for early support customers as soon as we have something packaged, 
tested, and ready to ship -- perhaps January...

We will begin to functionally enhance JES3 starting with the 2nd release and, 
unlike IBM, we plan annual releases just like the rest of our products. We'll 
probably re-sync on a September release schedule in 2020 or 2021 to ensure 
we're positioned to offer Day #1 support of new z/OS releases as they are 
released.

It's not every day someone acquires a core z/OS component from IBM (has that 
EVER happened?) so you can be sure we will treat it with the respect it 
deserves.

But, more than anything else, we're gonna have fun!
