When it comes to unix (or winders), I really don't mind being the village idiot, because at least I know what I don't know, or at least I thought so until I read this rant. A lot of my manuals refer to (what I call) "mainframe unix" as OMVS and/or USS. Not being a seasoned uniq, all these references are synonymous to me. Kindly define and differentiate these terms for me so I can return to knowing what I don't know with peace of mind restored.
