what I miss is cmspipelines. pipeline on steriods. lables, fan streams to
multiple named pipes, collect named pipes in elsewhere.
someone wrote a whole master file transaction update system and i think a
payroll process system system in ONE pipeline, with continusitons over 100s
of lines. I'd be happy with 5% of it in linux/unix.
heck, I'd like exec2 in linux, many thing could be done very simply and
easily.

You could write short programs using a scripting language, i think it
was called REXX.
REXX was added in VM/SP R2 or so. Older systems had EXEC2, and before
that, EXEC.
