How the mighty are fallen!
For a decade or two we rode in jet planes designed using GDDM (under IBM VM on the 370/390/3090/ESA)

Hi Patrik

I hope no one thinks I am advocating for the return of GDDM - by the
way, progress bars were one of the things we could do with GDDM.

Before 7.6 came out, while IBM was planning what should be dropped, I
was part of a survey for that. I stated clearly that GDDM is not needed
on the IBM i.
