SkXIV shows off something it can do that the other Taco Konstructors can't.

While #SDF #Plan9 Bootcamp has been quiet, I pulled out my #MVS #tk4- host and replaced it with #tk5 !

Following the videos of #Moshix on #YouTube I've enabled a few other upgrades!

β€’ Main/work DASDs are now on #ramdisk for faster access with hourly sync to NV storage
β€’ #Networking via #NJE38 to RELAY with other systems
β€’ Upgraded #COBOL and other compilers from Jay Mosley's #SYSCPK
β€’ mfprint ( #Go socket printer) needed a few code updates but is dumping to NFS to make PDFs easier to grab now

Trial ended, got the system installed but then wasn't sure what to do next since it wouldn't make sense to build/test code on the expiring trial VM. An #IBM rep reached out to me via email about the learners license so fingers crossed on that front but probably nothing will come of it. Instead I've spun up a #mvs #tk4 instance for some device programming 😁

When I used to do independent web work, I coded up a project management system with cookie-based auth to the apache server in a client's dev environment and automated monthly invoices in PDF by e-mail, all as a Drupal 7 module.

If I ever have to be self-employed again, I figure I'll do the same but in #COBOL or something and run it on #MVS in Hercules.

Can #Tk4 do TCP/IP/SMTP? Is there a guide somewhere to the relevant APIs or whatnot?
