... As opposed to investing a little time in a self maintained platform with a known development path and pedigree. Or are you implying that Hercules has an...
... In such an event, in your opinion would Amdahl have a right to demand that IBM include their product in IBM's own IBM-software-advantaged developer ...
... IBM should allow the use of any platform with their developer program. If IBM still made the P/390, after all, by your argument Flex-ES would be out in the...
... Jay, what you say we should fear was precisely the case when the P/390 was around. For many years (six?) we had absolutely no ability to sell into the...
... The difference is that the Justice Department was the one doing the insisting, originally, under terms of an antitrust sentiment. IBM broke the law - or...
... You misread this -- YOU are insisting that they make their software available on your terms. ("IBM should allow the use of any platform with their...
... I'm asking (not insisting; I do not have that power over IBM) that they behave the same way with the ADCD program that they do with the rest of their...
... What a wonderfully twisted mind you have Peter. You quote a section concerning denigration of one emulation solution by another emulator provider and...
... Is this how you see everything, Peter. If something free exists that it must be a means to subvert something? Was is John Dillinger who wrote Henry Ford...
... Ask them, although I believe the AD-CD's are also available on selected IBM branded gear, such as the model "P30" box (which I bet they lose money on), as...
... They're not making money on sales of Flex-ES to PWD users, either. (At least, as far as I know.) Since you can't buy the P/390 any more, and the P30 isn't...
... Then we simply differ in our view of how all the blocks in the mainframe space stack up, and I guess we'll leave it at that. ... Again, you'll have to ask...
On a point of order, Does anyone know definitively if you can buy a package under the PWD program, with loan of ADCDs, running on the UMX emulator? If yes,...
... I don't know that anyone has tried it. Given IBM's public statements on the matter, though, I consider it quite unlikely. ... The DoJ has bigger fish to...
... Hmm, does Ford thereby have the right to restrict upon which equipment I might chose to listen to the "Ford Radio Hour". In both cases the 'software' is...
... snip... ... OK thanks Alex. Interesting. They will license ADCD on Flex. They won't license it on Herc. They won't license it on UMX. Anybody taking bets...
I am trying to setup the hercules emulator on redhat 7.2. I have the emulator installed and running and am now trying to install redhat 7.2 on it. It starts...
If I understand correctly you wish to telnet into the Linux390, the port 3270 is only for 3270 console access which is not required for Linux390. You need to...
you know what your right. i tried this but it seemed to get stalled at the : Trying 192.168.200.1... Connected to 192.168.200.1. so then i would just control c...
... Just to sharpen the logic underlying the above comment, If IBM chose to standardize on one emulator, and made that available for free with a stack loan to...
... I'll jump in here to note that I think this would be an excellent idea, as long as "qualified developer" is defined in such a way as to include freeware...
... From your answer you seem willing to allow a program with only one "brand" (under the apparent assumption it would be your brand). Interesting.... PDW...
... IBM can give away whatever the heck it wants to. You're arguing apples and oranges: that they choose to give away their software currently only if you buy...
... OK, I think you are saying that if for some perverse reason IBM standardized on one free emulator only, that would be OK by you as that would adequately...
... Probably does cost more than $2000. But if I don't need it and am offering more than the bundled price minus the actual price of the ThinkPad ( whether...
