((--:: recent post from how i tried to handle it long ago and far away ... before OCO in a ipcs alternative that i had implemented in rex(x). http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007v.html#46 folklore indeed it was eventually in use by all internal locations and PSRs ... even tho there was a decision not to release it to customers. http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#dumprx it sort-of started out as a demonstration of the functionality of the "new" rex ... the stated objective was in half-time over period of 3months, i would re-implement ipcs in rex(x) with ten times the function and it would run ten times faster (little slight of hand since the base ipcs was all implemented in assembler). i had access to softcopy of all the base source files (including control block definitions) and documentation. however, nearly all this stuff had been created for hardcopy/printed output. the particular issue was how to come up with online appropriate information display including being able to tailor to problem being dealt with (very crude online context sensitive orientation). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
