IBM's introduction of the zPDT would seem to be a cost-effective and viable alternative for the small developer.

I had no idea that this issue went back so far in history, which also added to my dismay about the whole thing. I don't know about you all, but those FLEX-ES boxes were a ton of fun to work on (and the P/390... never worked on a Multiprise, but those looked fun too). Why can't we have that again?? I'd be running z/OS and actively doing development for the platform *right now* if I had that capability. As it is, it seems to me that IBM does nothing but hurt themselves and the platform in general with their current stance (sorry for the quite obvious statement). Also sorry that I can't afford Dallas on my own. What am I to do but to learn C#????? Scott T. Harder Mainframe Services, Inc.
