for a little topic drift ... old posts detailing how a lot of ISPF development was paid for by siphoning off revenue from VM370 Performance products: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2000d.html#17 Where's all the VMers? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001m.html#33 XEDIT on MVS http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2003k.html#0 VSPC http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2005t.html#40 FULIST http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006k.html#50 TSO and more was: PDP-1 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007g.html#17 The Perfect Computer - 36 bits? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007o.html#41 Virtual Storage implementation http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007o.html#69 ServerPac Installs and dataset allocations http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007t.html#55 new 40+ yr old, disruptive technology http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2008h.html#43 handling the SPAM on this group http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2009s.html#46 DEC-10 SOS Editor Intra-Line Editing the issue was that traditional favorite son operating system related development had culture of large organizations, staff, and overhead. Moving into pricing for individual software components was somewhat tramatic for that development culture ... even a decade or more after unbundling announcement (and a lot of individual products would never had sold if priced to fully cover all costs) http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#unbundle product price/revenue had to be greater than infrastructure costs. The solution was to marry several products in the same package or organization ... so that aggregate organization product revenue is better than aggregate infrastructure costs. this was done with jes2 networking married to vm370 networking. for ISPF it was merging the VM370 Performance products into the same group with ISPF. The two products had approx. the same aggregate revenue ... but at the time, the ISPF organization had nearly 100 times more people than supporting VM370 Performance products (and after the merging is kept that way ... simple support with little or no new VM370 performance product development because ISPF needed to siphon off all the funds). by comparison xedit was done mostly by one person ... although there were some internal politics ... because there was another internal editor (also by one person) that was much more mature and more function ... that could have been selected in lieu of xedit. some old email http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006u.html#email780311 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006u.html#email790606 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006u.html#email800311 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006u.html#email800312 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006u.html#email800429 in this post http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006u.html#26 Assembler question and http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006n.html#email810531 in this post http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006n.html#55 The very first text editor other past posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001m.html#22 When did full-screen come to VM/370? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002p.html#39 20th anniversary of the internet (fwd) http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2003d.html#22 Which Editor http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2004o.html#36 Integer types for 128-bit addressing http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006k.html#51 other cp/cms history http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007g.html#5 Call for XEDIT freaks, submit ISPF requirements http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2008h.html#43 handling the SPAM on this group http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2009c.html#52 THE runs in DOS box? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2009c.html#54 THE runs in DOS box? -- 42yrs virtualization experience (since Jan68), online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
