By the compilers being unbundled it does allow third party software
vendors to offer editors and IBM still gets some money from the compilers.

I have not used any of these just found them on the Internet. Do I think
they will do as much as IBM's, no I do not. And it still might be hard
to sell them into small shops if you still have to buy a certain number
of IBM's editors, but I have to believe the market just got better for
them then it was. Plus for time-share services (which I do run one for a
little while longer) it might be the only way they can provide V6R1 and
above at a reasonable price, depending on pricing of the third party
software and if IBM goes named users.

When building a program you need to compile it. I still dont understand
the unbundling of the compilers from all the devevlopment tools.
