For sure. Surprising IBM doesn't want to release a format so a ISV can develop

Not that I know of. That's really what I'd like IBM to provide, but I
think it's unlikely. Presumably it could be reverse engineered

It was easy for me, too.
I just didn't get involved until it came out on ESA because I didn't work with
VM a long time after University.

To be technical, /bin/sh isn't "_BPX_SHAREAS" aware. It uses spawn()
rather than fork()/exec() in many cases.
When using spawn(), _BPX_SHAREAS controls whether a local spawn is down.
The best documentation on _BPX_SHAREAS is in the z/OS Unix Assembler
Callable Services Guide - under BPX1SPN.
