Looking at z/OS UNIX System Services "Ported Tools" http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/features/unix/bpxa1ty1.html there is an X-Windows editor called "nedit" that IBM makes available for z/OS UNIX.
Does this imply that X-Windows under z/OS UNIX System Services is usable (perhaps with IBM's Ported Tools)? I guess if I really wanted to know I'd subscribe to the MVS-OE List Server. Turning to the z/OS MVS side for a moment, I see that GDDM/MVS supports X-Windows graphics through the GDDMXD/MVS interface. So if your 3270 emulator doesn't support drawing graphs etc you could have an X-Window pop up on the side and do it that way. -dap ______________________________________ On Sun, Apr 8, 2012 at 1:58 PM, Paul Gilmartin <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sun, 8 Apr 2012 13:39:11 -0700, Sam Siegel wrote: > > > >The IBM XL C/C++ team did a GREAT jobs with ASCII compatibility. :-) > > > Overall, yes, but, last time I checked, no Curses; no X11. > Sockets?
