Re: Fascinating Interview with Steve Jobs [non-mainframe] - now Gary Kildall

I remember IBM charging and then refunding for PartnerWorld. I passed on PLX: did not see committing to an unsupported language that might be withdrawn at any time (as it was). IBM should open source PL/X 390. Hardly would give away their secret sauce at this point! PL/X 390 -- not current

Originally SCEERUN2 contained LE modules that had to be PDS/E while SCEERUN could be PDS. Also for PL/I and Fortran only SCEERUN is needed; Cobol and C/C++ needs SCEERUN2 as well as SCEERUN. Finally some of the SCEERUN2 modules had naming conflicts with very old pre-LE runtimes, while SCEERUN
