Hi Chris,
       I wish to confirm your rumors.  My current shop is running MVS/ESA
5.2
with TCP extensions.  We are eagerly anticipating a Java VM implementation.
All this will be used in intranet apps and I suspect many shops will do the
same.
Therefore I wouldn't worry about supporting us, its bad enough with most
of the users running Win solitaire, let alone mudding. (grin)
