The timeshare400.com boasts of being able to compile back to V2R3 - ouch.
And it appears the most recent version you can compile up to is V5R1.
Netshare400.com went away and is now coming back a little, though Jon Ross
isn't pursuing it real hard from what i can tell.

The rzkh.de site appears to be more "with it" concerning recent OSes.
Anybody know what the exchange rate would be for that service in USD?
