One use of TRSMAIN (AMATERSE?) often requested by IBM SR is submitting
supporting information with a problem report. This is partly because Terse
format is relatively immune to the vagaries of FTP.
Once, for a UNIX problem, IBM pointed me to their instruction page which
required Terse. So I made a tar of the UNIX files and Tersed that and left
IBM to deal with it. They did; didn't even complain.
And many sites shun connecting the z to the Internet, so the path is:
z/OS -> some desktop -> testcase.IBM
(Sometimes one of the steps is sneakernet.)
