I didn't know about that thanks.

I initially was interested until I read this:

https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/ibm/ibm-offer-zos-app-development-and-testing-its-public-cloud

Apparently the price is in excess of $5,000. Yeah, I am NOT paying that...

Pity it wasn't closer to the Tru64 hobbyist pricing that was once offered.

Thanks for the link anyway however.

Simon.
