While searching for CCW command codes (x'08' actually) I ran across this page of a computer science professor at Northern Illinois University. It seems they are learning some serious mainframe. http://www.cs.niu.edu/~rrannie/homepagA.html
My favorite bit is from the CS-468 course syllabus. http://www.cs.niu.edu/~rrannie/syl468S7.html "In this course programming will be carried out under a number of rules that, if you have not already discerned them, are those used in the 'real world' and which you may be assured you will encounter shortly after graduation. One of those rules is that a program which does NOT DO WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO -- REGARDLESS of how long or how hard or how much you 'sweat blood over it', is still, just, and only, a pile of chicken scratchings. It is NOT 50% or 10% or ANY percent a program! IT IS AN UN-PROGRAM! "AFTER you graduate you won't get paid by an employer for a program that doesn't work and BEFORE you graduate you won't get a grade in this course for a program that doesn't work. Don't ever forget that folks won't pay for parachutes that 'almost' work!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
