- Porting UNIX Software by Greg Lehey, O'Reilly and Associates, Inc., 1996.
-
"Consolidating UNIX Systems onto OS/390," SG24-2090.
-
"Porting C Applications to Lotus Domino on S/390," SG24-2092
-
"PortingApplications to the OpenEdition MVS Platform," GG24-4473, has details on one porting experience (Sysdeco) and the methodology used. This helpful book contains valuable hints and tips, and it is packaged with a diskette that contains source code and executables for the tools and examples discussed in the book. Note, however, that the porting information is based on MVS 5.1. For MVS 5.2.2 and OS/390 releases, OpenEdition support provides much more function. Most of the examples are still relevant.
