Don't respond, the answer is no. TSO is functionally stabilized because 1) IBM doesn't make any money from it and 2) because it already provides all the functionality that anyone is willing to pay for. IBM is a business. No revenue, no development. Get used to it. TSO is not dead; it's stabilized. I use it daily; you use it daily; just about everyone on IBM-MAIN uses it daily. It doesn't need replacement because it still works. Would you like enhancements? How much would you pay for them. Again, don't respond. The answer is zero. You get what you pay for. SHARE is no one's patcy (sic). That's a horse%&@* comment and you know it.
