John,

we port code from Windows NT to OS/390
To make it easier for development we use Unix System Services to hold
the source and compile them using make tools. Later development start using
emacs. The executable code reside in a "normal" PDSE load so it can be used
in "regular" batch-aplications and also from CICS. Later we tryed to improve

performance using XPLINK which will not work for CICS. We also use IPA

All in all it took us about two years to get everything running including
several PMR with IBM for DebugTool, Compiler, LE runtime, CICS.
I also remember some Complaints and several emails with several IBM labs.

Since a year or so it works fine and we looking forward to use the newest
z/OS R2 C-compiler.

YMMV

Good luck
Roland
