North Ridge Software's product (Network Director, I think something-or-
other Director) was not a sesssion manager.  The doc refers to it as
a "switch".  It was a menu system that did a CLSDST PASS to the selected
application.  And the developer argued that nobody needed a session
manager when multiple 3270 images were available on the same desktop.
That was back in the early 90s when multiple 3270 images was 2-5 separate
LUs on your DFT device coax attached to a 3174.

I think that was an unjustified stance back then, and is still wrong.
Right for some shops, but not right in general.
