It is not up to me to determine if unsupported software is OK to somebody else or not. They are running OS/390 2.10. What's one more piece of unsupported software when the OS itself is unsupported? Oh, and just to be a bit more exact, I did not __recommend__ it. I just said it was available. The OP wanted something free. Why should somebody __expect__ support when the software is gratis?
