Is it just for those who don't have Linux for Z but want to run Linux applications on the mainframe? Does it allow "direct access" to z/OS resources (databases, CICS, etc.)? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
