    That shouldn't be a problem.  The Tur(n)key MVS
 3.8j already has 3375, 3380, and 3390 support.
 Dynamic BLDL works better that IBM's original LLA.
 RPF does much of what ISPF/PDF was wanted for.
 I'm not a mouth-piece, but adding function shouldn't
 be a problem.

    I'm not a mouth-piece, but MVS 3.8j SYS1.AMODGEN
 member IHAPSA could be modified.  Adding a field
 that you need to assemble a program shouldn't be
 a problem.  I believe that copying the SYS1.MODGEN
 member IHAPSA from zOS for use on an unlicensed
 platform or to redistribute is illegal.  There
 could be exceptions.

    Still another RACF look-alike?  There were
 a couple of freebies, ACF2, and Top Secret.
 If you want write still another one, please do.
 Do not copy copyrighted code.  If some of the
 interfaces work the same, it may be okay?
 i.e. If you use LU for LISTUSER to list user
 attributes, I certainly won't complain and
 don't think that IBM will.  Of course I could
 be wrong.  Do not use the names RACF, ACF2,
 or Top Secret.

    Did I mention that I'm not a mouth-piece?
