Given that, it's too bad they didn't pick a different name  A task is no
more nor less a system task based on the SYST flag.  For example, it is
entirely reasonable for a TCP/IP proc to first execute the program
defining TCP/IP's subsystem interface, then execute TCP/IP itself.  That
nullifies the SYST attribute (resulting in a nastygram in the log) but in
no way effects the way TCP/IP behaves ... as long as TIME=1440 is
specified.  TCP/IP is still a system task (as opposed to  SYSTEM TASK)
either way.
