Welcome to my website which I've dedicated to making available to the 'world'
software that I've written over the years. Here you will find XMITIP, the OS/390
and z/OS E-Mail application (on the TCP/IP Tools page) and many other tools for
OS/390 and z/OS. These tools are primarily written in REXX with a few Assembler
programs.

My name is Lionel B. Dyck and I've been in systems programming since 1972
(starting with MVT 21.6 - remember IBM APARs delivered on punch cards) and have
developed a number of tools over the years. I've created this site to (1) share
useful code that I've developed and (2) to return a little back to the community
of mainframe systems programmers from whom I've learned so much. I've gleaned
code and knowledge from the MVT Tools Tapes (remember the Blue Berets?) to the
current CBT Tape and a wealth of Web Sites. I hope my contributions here are
helpful to others.

These files are being made available (without any warranty or guarantee). The
software was working when it was uploaded and the author accepts bug reports,
suggestions, comments, and occasional complaints.

Looking for the ability to use git from ISPF then check out zigi.rocks and
enjoy.

Featured: ISPF Developer Tips and Tricks.  This is a document, with usable
examples, for ISPF Developers. The zip file contains a Sample PDS in XMIT format
and document in EPub, Mobi (Kindle), and PDF formats. Version 1.9
