When I tell my mainframer co-workers about this kind of stuff, the usual response is, "Oh. They finally thought of that, eh? MVS was doing this (some large number of) years ago." MVS certainly has some funky stuff going on, and a user interface that _I_ think leaves something to be desired. On the other hand, it has some things that make it very attractive to the business management types (and techies too). I'm not trying to tout MVS above Unix. I just think that it's too bad that the two user communities are so separated from each other. Linux would certainly benefit from having some of the capabilities that the mainframe world takes for granted.
