Re: DFSMS dates, names, numbers and references for wiki

Wayne Rhoten (Morgan Hill, CA) probably knows more than most. He was Mr SMS until he retired from IBM in 2014. I don't know how to contact him but if you could find someone who has contact information, he would be a gold mine. I do know someone who *might* know how to get a hold of him if you get

Re: File access from remote systems

There is a product called Distributed FileManager/MVS which I believe used to have a Windows client (1997) but now only seems to support OS/2, AS400, and AIX. For more info look at https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.idag200/d9069.htm to see if this is
