All It reminds me of when I saw my first tape sort running on what I think were IBM 729 drives at Florida Power around 1970. I knew I had to learn how that worked. And now there is an open source sort merge utility included with z390. It is written in structured mainframe macro assembler and runs on Windows, Linux, and Apple OSX using J2SE 6.0+ host. But it is just no fun to watch anymore as it uses hard drive work areas!
