Got to thinking the other day about what sort of change to Community Edition would justify jumping to Version 2.1.0. Here are some things that occurred to me:

Building a V2 would also open up the opportunity to clean up / reorg the mdisks. (There is still lots of drek hanging out from the 3-Pack, 4-Pack, 6-Pack days... e.g. stray nuc maps, obsolete, 1-use execs, etc.)

Plus, building a V2 might lead to creating a useful update/distro strategy for the future.

?

Cheers,

• Enhanced CMS File System ala VM/SP

Are you speaking to the 1K, 2K, 4K, blocksizes for minidisks?

• Fully (or nearly) XEDIT compatible editor

I believe this is being worked on by Martin S. and he is having some success. Still lots to do.

• New editor and REXX part of CMS DCSS
• Truely dynamic 327x support... e.g. 150x100 screen size (without CP/CMS Windows/Vscreen !!)
• Something like Dirmaint

The WATERLOO tapes, I have to look to see which ones, have code to help in feeding USER DIRECT changes to DIRMAINT. That would be a starting place.

• Improved RSCS (more like RSCS-PP 5748-XP1)

RSCS & Hercules set up for communication with "standard" BiSync out. Would still need directions for setting up the receiving end (NOSEID, TCP port, ...) because not everyone is going to tie to another VM, but maybe MVS or MUSIC, or (horrors!) CDC NOS.

• More Passthru-like functionality

XNET 1.5.1 is very much like PVM, as best I can recall PVM. I have it working for connecting 3 VM systems via CTCE & TCP/IP.

Some of these are being worked on via the Discord App, Server: Mainframe Enthusiasts. Feel free to join the discussions.
