I could be any of CICS, ISPF, MCS console, Netview, TSO SM or "E. None
of the above". But most of those support color. Likewise if you run
z/VM, although the components and screens are different.

If you send picture from msys for operator, it is fully graphical. What is
screenshot of OS ? :)

Traditional? MVS has supported color displays for decades. Even for
monochrome, it's more likely to be amber than green.

A typical mainframe screen isn't GUI, but at the same time is far from being 
the 'green screen' of yester-year. If you click the web link below you'll 
see many examples of mainframe screens. You'll also see that certain 
graphical characters (e.g. arrows) can be displayed. What you won't be able 
to tell from the screen shots is that all commands, functions, selections, 
scrolling (etc.) can be performed using a mouse. The mainframe is a lot 
easier to use than many people think!


Hope this helps,

Thanks..




Traditional IBM mainframe OS's look like a green screen, just like the 
screens you see on a AS/400 (now called iSeries).  Each application may 
have a unique look and feel, just like GUI applications on Windows.


Linux on a mainframe looks like Linux on any other platform, exactly 
like any other platform.  Which type of box Linux runs on does not 
affect the output of its screens, either text or GUI.
