I regret throwing out an 3270 APL keyboard. Now if you want to be truly Z-flexible you'd learn PL360. Somewhere I still have a copy of that compiler :-)

I mainly script in UNIX using Perl due to familiarity. And because I love regular expressions. But I do use Bash scripts, awk, Python, and Ruby at times. People are lucky that I can't find a good APL keyboard or they'd be in real trouble. <grin> But I've had way too many (especially MSCEs) who want "the one, true way" so that they don't need to be multi-talented to do their job. -- John McKown Maranatha! <>< ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
