Getting an IBM AS/400 Midrange Computer on the Internet

I recently wrote an article about how storing code in plain text files is a local maximum we need to overcome as the software industry.

The db based file system in OS400 fascinates me, though I have little experience with it.

I’m thinking git was a response to this concern. Maybe adding some features to git may answer your local maximum criticism.

Have you looked at how Smalltalk and late Xerox Interlisp/Xerox Common Lisp machines managed that?

I haven't worked with specifics of storage in Smalltalk environments, but Xerox Interlisp didn't use text at all, nor files IIRC
