And I should have added before sending: Not a PHB airline magazine overview, a COBOL-and-assembler-programmer-level explanation.

Is there a very simple overview tutorial anywhere of what it does and how it does it that a mainframe programmer (with a small smattering of *ix knowledge) could use to understand what they are and how they could be used in z/OS?

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.)? -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
