+# TK5 C90 Projects
+
+This is an attempt to use the local GCC compiler and modern development tools,
+to learn C90 (well, C89) on the MVS 3.8j Turnkey system. 
+
+Essentially, you work from your IDE as you normally would. However, when you push to
+the repository, the build is done on the the TK5 system by sending the source
+file and the job execution JCL to the card reader port on the TK5.
