Planet MVS FAQ


What is www.PlanetMVS.com?

This is a non-profit web site that is dedicated to helping people use the MVS aka z/OS operating systems. It is a "fan" site of IBM mainframes in general.


Who runs www.PlanetMVS.com?

David Alcock See my Frequently Asked Questions about Dave


Shouldn't it be called Planet z/OS?

I'm set in my ways, besides: I grew up wanting to be a MVS systems programmer. And not only that, they keep changing the name, I'll stay with the "generic" name of MVS.


Isn't it narcissistic to call it Planet MVS?

You know, if I did identify with a Greek Mythological figure, it wouldn't be Narcissus...

Who would it be?
Zeus!
Okay, I stole that from a Woody Allen movie


Who did you write these pages for?

The Planet MVS web site was written for a target audience of people that use the z/OS operating system on an IBM mainframe.

Other users of IBM mainframes may derive some benefit but that would be purely unintentional.
