JES was just one example off the top, Bill. The list goes on. Tools like Omegamon, which gave me complete inspection/control over everything running in the environment, and Epilog which made historical analysis of operations and performance turning easy. Then there's HSM which uses disk and tape cartridges/robotics to make virtually unlimited on-line storage available. Then there's VTAM, which controls the network. Like JES, VTAM has a whole language. Then, actually first on the list, but I've already talked about it too much, there's SMP, which puts systems management in a whole different perspective. I appreciate the *nix stuff, but so long as Windows has the lions share of the installed base, it just doesn't make any sense to me to consider for the work I'm doing. > on another note - thats got to be the wildest thread drift > (VFP up in the Tiobe Index).

I've been keeping my website alive just as a placeholder pending completion of the FPD->VFP re-write, so I don't want to advertise or promote it right now.
