If you could, you'd be the first! What a waste of a perfectly good mainframe. I have to agree. I love UNIX, but running anything other than MVS on something like that, or maybe VM, is just a sin. Why not as a VM guest? Peace... Sridhar Hello! Close but no noxious smoking device Mark. That was AIX/ESA. I'm talking about AIX/370. And according to one associate on another two lists, (One I manage.) that one ran on one specific customer's machines in the same area that one of our associates is based in. If John Wilson is correct and it also ran on the mainframe there, sharing space with the MTS setup then it adds to the mysteries behind the product. And to add the the amusement I also met a family of machines running ESA grade operating systems, a good long time ago, also a crowd of RS/6000 machines and a very unhappy IBMer. The surprised look the woman gave me was worth it. This was the same time when Ultrix was announced for the VAX, and then work was being started on the Alpha family, especially since I saw a couple of MIPS based workstations then as well. And speaking of that, there are materials available on the TUHS ftp site for it....... ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
