Would this be a case for having a z/Linux hosted on Hercules/390 on a x86 platform? I don't see the need for the reliability and scalability for this sort of thing. This "test environment" could be accessable via NFS or some other method to actually copy compiled modules to the real System z environment. Of course, it would not be useful for actual system level testing, but for just compiling and initial testing, it might be useful. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
