  Actually, SAS/C has a product (SAS/C CSL) which provides the X and
 Motif libraries on MVS.  I'm the priniciple implementor...  It's been
 available for about two years, providing Motif 1.1 and the entire X11R5
 libraries.

  We don't have emacs yet; but gcc in its later versions can be coaxed
 into generating 370 code.

  Also,  POSIX is coming to MVS.  There's recent announcements from IBM.
 As well, IBM seems to taking steps to make porting of UNIX stuff to MVS
 much easier.  I can tell you, it's very strange doing "ls" on an MVS
 machine - but it's there.
