I assume you use equivalent programs, but what are they? Presumably XEDIT
would be high on the list, and one of IBM's print formatters. And you
probably have a nice implementation of SQL. Is there a replacement

do anything useful with a computer without the

ghostview, gimp, xv, PostgreSQL or Oracle, Perl, C, various useful
UNIX utilities (e.g. tar, awk, nawk, grep, sed, dc, ed, diff, cal, at,
bc, od, lint, etc.), to name a very few of the extremely useful
programs that run on UNIX systems.
You'd be surprised at the variety of work I can do on an S/390 with *none*
of these. Just because they are useful, doesn't mean that's all there is.
