What's the support status of IND$FILE? If it fails, can a customer report a problem? Pretty hard without the specs. I suspect it's supported, if at all, only when used in connection with a supported emulator. What are the currently supported emulators? Is the underlying facility in 3270 data streams documented and supported? >> Does IBM (or any business >>partner who might have access to those specs on an NDA basis) >>even market an IND$FILE client nowadays? > >We (Proginet) sell a product called IND$FILE Plus, that is an add-on with >various bells & whistles to 3270 emulators.
