   10:30 AM   Linux, the how to concept
              Doctor Robinson - Salomon Smith Barney
 
             Salomon Smith Barney, a member of Citigroup, is a corporate
             & investment bank located in the financial district
             of lower Manhattan. A Task Force Team was created consisting of
             VM/Linux, Unix, Communication, Security and Application personnel
             to evaluate Linux on S/390, porting of applications, creating new
             applications, security, backup / restore, and connectivity. At
             this time we have z/VM running 48 guest images on IFL processors.
             Linux S/390 was chosen to provide a stable and reliable
             infrastructure for Intranet; Internet; vendor applications
             such as DB2-connect, Websphere, SAMBA, CICS/MQ; and in-house
             applications; as well as gateway and print server consolidation.
             This session will cover the evolution of this installation from
             concept to implementation.

   11:30 AM        LUNCH break
 
 
    1:00 PM   XPLINK
              Will Roden of IBM's VM Development organization.
 
             Why is my C, C++ code running slow on z/OS?
             It turned out that many cycles were spent going from one
             function to another.  XPLINK was developed to reduce the
             time to call a function.
             This is a discussion of how z/OS XPLINK works.

    2:00 PM        Break
 
    2:15 PM   IMAP for z/VM
             Romney White of IBM's VM Development organization.
 
             The Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP) is emerging
             as the preferred way to provide mail storage and access
             for workstations in a networked environment.
             This session describes the protocol, outlines the
             implementation of the protocol in an IMAP server that
             is part of TCP/IP for VM, and relates some of the
             results of and experiences with using that implementation.
