This chapter is intended to give you an impression of the wide spectrum of software that is available for Linux on the mainframe today. Because there is already a large number of available program packages and new ones are becoming available frequently, we do not attempt to provide a comprehensive list, but restrict ourselves to listing some examples that we think you might find useful.
