Was a coding exercise for me (and a reaffirmation that EBCDIC is a PITA. Has anyone else taken up the banner?) Lynx is Javascript-ignorant; code page restricted, and requires plugins for any graphics or audio resources. May be practical on other platforms; surely not on z/OS. It interfaces nicely (nichely?) to Braille and audio output devices. And, it interfaces nicely to the moribund Publibz and LOOKAT. On Mon, 3 Mar 2014 16:37:56 -0600, Joel C.

I have needed to move data sets to them via shared DASD because FTP is unavailable. Terminal access may be available via VTAM. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
