Unpublished Sources bullet point[edit]
This sentence and the associated bullet point read like an individual touting for business. I suggest that both lines are deleted. StuartHighley (talk) 09:54, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- Done. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 11:56, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
Out-of-date[edit]
V6R4 is out now — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.47.18.127 (talk) 22:34, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
V6R5 is out now, and I think the tgcs.com site is better than the ibm.com site for the "Official Website", but I may be biased. Da Twink Daddy (talk) 20:42, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
"Curses-based text interface"[edit]
"Curses-based text interface"
Could we have some clarification on this innovative feature (of ANY IBM software product, as far as I am concerned ;-)
For instance, is it available in multiple languages - and what about dialects? (The Bavarian dialect, allegedly of the German language, is supposed to be especially rich in swearwords.

Links to 4690 OS Publications[edit]
Just a heads up, but the 4690 OS Publications are going to be deleted from the web, so all those links will break in the near future.

More than Java 2[edit]
Enhanced mode terminals and controllers (available since V5R2 [or earlier?]), provide more modern JVMs, with TDK 8 (based on OpenJDK 8) being the latest available in V6R5. Also, V6R5 ships with a Python 2.x, which I personally consider an decent improvement over FlexOS batch files for scripting. Da Twink Daddy (talk) 20:49, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
Also, you only need to use the Metaware compiler for 16-bit C applications. 32-bit C uses the IBM VisualAge compiler ("optlink" calling convention is required). V7 might also provide other options for 32-bit compilation. Da Twink Daddy (talk) 21:31, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
