I am trying to come up with a complete mapping of 4-digit machine types to C/C++ ARCH levels. (The universe for my "complete" is z architecture.) I am in pretty good shape for z900 through z13. I am dealing with future machines by assuming that anything not in my table is of an

Charles, We are running z/PDT , we should talk my friend, i think thats a good question, i know you can emulate different architectures. Scott On Sat, Nov 28, 2015 at 12:17 PM, Charles Mills wrote: > I am trying to come up with a complete mapping of 4-digit machine types to
