 >> MVS platform and used some of the tools they gave us on the 400...

Um - it's mostly developed (in Rochester anyway) on the Andrew
(Carnegie-Mellon) Unix platform these days I believe.  Still some stuff
that runs on the big iron but I don't think the developers work directly
with it much anymore.  Not that this voids your argument in any way - I've
long felt that Rochester's reluctance to use what they sell is a major
contributor to some of the problems with the system.

PS.  I couldn't help but chuckle when I read a COMMON session abstract
today that touted the wonderful new development tools that we now have for
the AS/400 courtesy of PACE and the Andrew toolkit!!  A little
ass-backwards don't you think!
