The reason that Vista is so good is that I was actually user #2. Tom was #1. Surely the only emulator written from scratch by an experienced--professional--mainframe programmer. I did ask for a few additional features early on, but most of what I needed was already there, recognized--and provided--by user #1.
If this morphs into a requirements session, one feature that would be welcome: handling UNIX file names seamlessly. From the get-go Vista could capture an MVS data set name, or a portion of it, with a simple right mouse click. UNIX file names require Highlight followed by Copy. Not a struggle, but a slight bump in the work flow. Just sayin. . .

But you may not know that months prior my programming goal was to "Add enough functionality that Skip would accept it". So that day was the acid test.
