"... Additionally, the [Rational Developer and Test Environment for System z]
product can now be purchased as a stand-alone entry point into the Rational
development solutions for System z. This lowers the cost of initial purchase,
opening the environment for use by developers, testers, and operations
personnel, and provides an easier path to adoption for traditional mainframe
developers looking to modernize their development and test processes
and infrastructure."
This is progress. And if Robert Cringley's predictions about IBM's future
hopefully are wrong, this is promising to basement/mom & pop developers.
But does RDTESz (or whatever you want as the acronym) also support z/VSE and
z/VM for developers? (Yes, I know, I can download the "trial" z/VM and
jury-rig it under Hercules...)
