The z/VM 5.1 Announcement (204-235) contained this statement: o The 3270 PC File Transfer product (5664-281), previously orderable with the z/VM V4 System Delivery Option (SDO), is now available as part of the z/VM V5 product. It is shipped as a sample program on the system disk, with no support available. The z/VM 5.1 and 5.2 Program Directories (p.18) contain this statement: o The 3270 PC File Transfer product (5664-281) is now available as part of the z/VM V5R1 product. Its module, IND$FILE MODULE, is shipped as a sample tool on the system 'S' disk (190). I know of no plan to remove IND$FILE. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
