All
I have retired again from z390 development after having survived esophageal cancer, kidney cancer, and thyroid cancer over the past 2 years. All my scans are now clear of cancer, and I feel well again. So at 79 I’m planning to spend more time with my wife Charlotte traveling and relaxing.
I will miss working with the current z390 core development team: Abe Kornelis, John Ganci, and Anthony Delosa, and hope they will continue on.
I also miss working with Melvyn Maltz and John Ehrman who supported z390. Melvyn developed the z390 CICS emulation, and John invited me to present z390 at several SHARE sessions.
For those interested in learning more about z390, the current development site is here: https://github.com/z390development/z390
The original website I maintained from 2004 until 2012 when I turned it over to Abe is here: https://z390.org/
All z390 code is written in J2SE Java and is open source.
The purpose of z390 is to help those interested in learning, developing, and executing mainframe assembler programs on Windows and Linux.
