Re: s/36 environment

A while back, Steve Will affirmed continuing support indefinitely. You can
probably search his blog posts. Some feel however that the S/36 environment
is a ball and chain that the platform carries around which thwarts

IBM has tried in the past just to remove the capability for the RPG
