Just installed BREXX on TK4-/MVS. Now to read the manual! As they say…back in the day, I wrote many REXX execs in VM/CMS. Our shop used CA-Vollie, which was a VSE, ISPF like environment. I assume that, it’s been so long, I can only guess that, that’s what it was modeled after. It was a …

Assembler Disk to Print
Successfully fixed Assembler Disk to Print program I had typed in week or so ago. Was having problems with DCB macro. More specifically line continuation. Almost asked for help in the MVS forum. Finally solved by editing in VS Code and realize my source alignment was off by using the visual guides. It was a …
Latest YouTube Video
I think my latest video has a lot of useful info. However it’s turned into a kinda of Frankenstein project. With pieces edited in. Then realizing I already said the same thing later…but not as good, pieces edited out to avoid being redundant. Also it was originally supposed to be a dry run. I’ll just …
X-Plane – More on my recent return
Was having trouble with ILS approach. Last I remember, I thought I had it figured out but apparently not. I couldn’t do it consistently. Recently getting back into X-Plane and ILS approach, which appears to just be a simple recipe, but it was still giving me problems. Just followed “X-Plane 11 – Cessna 172 Autopilot-iKboVHkbnQ4” …
Nemo search
When did this happen? My recent Mint update? Did nemo search get smart? I did a search…see below I thought it was for an exact match. But the 1st result doesn’t fit that. Obviously it could be useful, I just don’t remember it working like that.
Odysee delete video
Deleting a video was tricky. Seems like it should be here…but no! But here, where it looks like you watch it. See the trash can next to Share and Edit…
Making YouTube videos and learning
I mentioned before that one cool aspect of making a YouTube video to perhaps explain something to others is that I often find myself learning more on the topic than I knew. And once again after working on a video to explain how to create a MVS stand alone executable, I found myself digging in …
X-Plane 11 setup
There’s actually quite a bit of setup required. Reinstall upgraded scenery, aircraft, airports and more. Re-calibrate the joystick and reassign keys to my liking. But mine is nothing compared to some users who have lots of add-ons. I needed to get Little Navmap working again, a great free plugin, that among many other things, allows …
Clonezilla restore problems
I wanted to restore a partition image the other day using the latest version 2.7.1-22 on a USB drive and it didn’t even offer the restore parts option. I selected the Clonezilla directory like I always did and dropped to the command line and did a ls /home/partimage/ and it didn’t include the Clonezilla directory …
Customize 3270 screen
Here I wrote about changing the font size to something larger. I mentioned that the obvious choice of simply choosing a larger font wasn’t available to me. Well today it is! Perhaps because I also installed XFonts-x3270-misc and Fonts-3270, more likely the former. I simply chose Options>Font>20-point Font, and it worked. Then I chose File>Save …
