In keeping with the ups and downs of the dot-com Internet economy,
PlanetMVS.com is sorry to
inform you that we had to lay off half the staff.
To facilitate the layoff, PlanetMVS.com will have to take a charge
against fourth quarter earnings. After hearing about the layoffs,
stock analysts upgraded PlanetMVS.com to "buy". These layoffs
have resulted in low morale here at PlanetMVS.com and hence
the lack of web page updates.
- Created new Fiche picture page
with a Fiche Tank. You have to see it, hard to describe...
- Checked all of the links on my
Mainframe
and Freeware pages. Dead
links were discarded and changed URLs were updated.
Bascially every link *should* work.
- Changed text on the MVS Mail page
in regard to Lionel Dyck's XMITB64 program. He now has this useful
utility in a separate file to make it eaiser to use outside of the
XMITIP application.
- Changed link to WRQ's Reflection product on the
TN3270 page.

- Updated the Mainframe jokes page
with a couple of adapted jokes.
- Updated the MVS Mail page:
- Added a FAQ
- Added information about the ported
XMITB64 program.
- Renamed the DA$xxxxx pages to DAxxxxx. Apparently my ISP's
web server software now doesn't serve pages with dollar signs
in the file name.

- Created new page: IBM Mainframe Name Game
- Added
Rexx compiler on OS/390 to the
Rexx Anywhere! page.
- A new freeware program, ASMHFSLE is
now available. This is a library exit for the HLASM that allows
copy members and macros to be read from a HFS library.

DA.SOURCE freeware package was upgraded:
- Added:
DA$W4TCP - Wait for TCPIP stack to initialize
- Added:
DA$WDATE - WHATDATE ISPF application
- Updated: DA$DISKR - See comments
- Updated: DA$ADATA - Add support for HLASM R3
- Module eyecatchers were changed to be consistent - small mind
at work!
- Other new freeware:
- LANPRT - An ISPF edit
macro that makes it easy to send print (landscape only) to
a HP printer (with IP JetDirect card) or printer servered by
a LPR server (usually only UNIX systems). LANPRT currently
only does PCL formatting.
- SendCC - A batch
program that sends Condition Codes to the TSO user, file
or via email.
- SimoX390
was added to the S/390 Assembler FAQ
as a PC-based mainframe assembler tool. Also the link to
Tachyson Software was
also changed on the FAQ.

- Added links on my Freeware links
page for:
-
Java for OS/390 Tips and FAQs - Excellent site with examples of
just about everything you want JAVA to do on OS/390.

who manage, support and program IBM S/390 mainframes

Gilbert Saint-Flour, I uploaded the missing
ISPF history text file and
added links to these MVS editors:
- Thanks to Jack Schudel, the
UnXMIT page
had a bad link which is now fixed for
XMITINFO
- My Links directory has been
rearranged for all but the IBM links. If you bookmarked them (or
subscribed) to one of them, please note the new URLs.
For example: /links/freeware/index.html is now /links/freeware.html.

Mainframe based Xmit files and allows for viewing or extraction of the
content data.

BTW: We are moving our data center 1200 miles east and I've been really
busy lately.
