Yep, the zLinux guys are still getting used to everything as our Linux project won't go live for a while yet. I'm kind of on the periphery as they will be sending messages into the existing CICS regions for those who wish to send data in using XML (and that hits the stuff that I work on).

You too might consider an NFS client. No reason you could not use ISPF edit against Linux content. It's your call. -- R; "Evans, Kevin R" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU> 03/09/2007 05:04 AM Please respond to Linux on 390 Port <LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU> From "Evans, Kevin R" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU cc Subject Re: What is vnc I must admit that being predominantly a mainframe user under z/OS, I also FTP download files to the PC, edit them and FTP upload them again IF I have a significant amount of rework on some code. Copy/paste and graphical screens (not fixed 43*80 screens used by ISPF-Edit) are just more "friendly" than ISPF-Edit on the mainframe. But for normal editing sessions, I still use ISPF-Edit. I, personally, don't like vi but don't use it enough to become familiar with it.

I guess I'll rephrase and just say that the best alternative I have found is to ftp to the linux workstation and gedit the file, then ftp it back. It gives me the ability to manipulate large files with ease. Others have suggested NFS and this might be an interesting alternative to ftp'ing back and forth. My users won't be compiling anything so an IDE seems like overkill. A seamless way for them to edit files on the server database from their linux workstations would be a good solution. thanks and sorry ----- Original Message ---- From: Adam Thornton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Sent: Thursday, March 8, 2007 8:13:20 PM Subject: Re: What is vnc On Mar 8, 2007, at 7:17 PM, Warren Taylor wrote: > due to the uniqueness of our work, an IDE is probably not worth the > expenditure and if I hear one more reference to vi I"m going to > croak.

Please enlighten me as to what task is so enormous that emacs can't do it, but for which an IDE is unsuitable. In fact, just enlighten me as to what's a "stronger" editor than emacs. I have difficulty envisioning this. I have met better development environments than Emacs + Speedbar + whatever-mode ( + some combination of useful elisp), but not many of them, and only in purpose-built environments.
