Hi Guys:<br><br>I'm exactly now working to an american company in a mainframe project and setting up an Hercules emulation environment (with the authorized IBM SOs that may run under Hercules) and, as a Squeaker, I'm wondering if Squeak may run in a Linux running under a mainframe operating system running under Hercules.
<br><br>Of course, could be nice see Squeak running natively in such "big iron's" !!<br><br>May be I could have time and hopefully my employer get interested in Squeak to try somethings.<br><br>At last, want to comment: Hercules emulator is really fantastic, I've a mainframe running in my Linux box!

<br>><br>> Oh, I see. That's a long shot but I'll ask.<br><br>Squeak on the AS/400 ? Very intriguing !<br>AFAIK there were only a Visualage Smalltalk edition (4.5) running on the PASE environment (an AIX-like hole drilled in OS/400 down to the MI, if my memory holds). Back in 2000-2001.
<br><br>You could run Squeak on a Linux "partition" of the OS/400, headless (unless you start also the X server) : you need a standard linux 64 distribution running on a Power kernel (Suse, Red hat, et al.). I run a Jxxx app. server 5 years ago and ran it exactly as I did on a pc-based environment.
<br><br>Running it on the OS/400 side could lead to some interesting integration with the OS/400 db (tables, schemas and other db "objects" are first class OS object).<br><br>I wander if someone ran Squak on the other IBM "big Iron", the /390 aka zSeries (or in his software emulator Hercules).
<br><br>Let us know about the '400.<br><br>Best regards,<br><br> Davide<br>--<br>Ing. Davide Grandi<br><a href="mailto:davide.grandi@mclink.it">davide.grandi@mclink.it</a><br><a href="http://www.davidegrandi.net">www.davidegrandi.net
