> Has anyone written a third party OS that can easily replace CMS? None are "easy" replacements, but IMHO there are several possible candidates:
MUSIC Linux Solaris (coming soon) Only MUSIC is really "CMS-like". The other two are obvious Unix derivatives, and would require retooling or emulation of the CMS DIAG API. Linux would be consistent with other things going on in the industry and inside IBM, and Solaris would ...well, just be weird. The key bit would be the presence of REXX and Pipes, IMHO. The other external commands could be built on a piece-by-piece basis, but there's a lot of logic for CMS users that really depends on those two parts.
