Does anyone out there know if one could run AIX on a mainframe (IBM370)
while also running OSes like MVS, CICS, and TSO?  If this is possible
is it possible for "files" to be shared between the OS partitions
while they are running?  Also, will AIX work with the existing 3270
terminals, or does one need to add ASCII terminals for AIX?

I don't know all that much about IBM mainframes, and our company is
too small to buy even a small one.  We do however have a client who
wants our U*IX product to "run" on his mainframe.  I was just 
wondering if we could easily port it to AIX.
