Hi, Chip.
As Alan has already informed us, DMS/CMS is still available for z/VM.
Another tool that can support DMS/CMS applications with no change to
either the programs, panels, or PCB files is RDM/ESA from the University
of Victoria. IBM also had at one time an IUO program called NEATWIND,
written by Brendan Jones, IBM A/NZ. It was quite impressive with what it
could do to manipulate and display 3270 screens.

This won't help Raymond any, but it reminded me of something.
I used to write a lot of panel apps using a VM program product called
Display Management System for CMS. It had interfaces for
EXEC/EXEC2, COBOL, PL/I, RPG, and BAL, but I used REXX with no
problems. Admittedly it was ISPF-Lite but it did everything we
needed for some pretty sophisticated applications. It has a slick
(well, for 1980) interactive panel design tool that would let you
build anything a 327x could display. DMS was really lightweight and
fast, both in time-to-production and execution speed.
Anyone know what happened to it?

other?
(primarily from the TSO to CMS based ISPF platform)
I thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
I believe they will work, but recognize that ISPF on z/VM, unlike
on z/OS, costs extra. If you have IFLs, a Special Bid is required.
