I remember Magnuson OEM Mainframes could be upgraded by the CE changing a
number on the CE console (before HMCs and SEs).
The problem was, with no audit trail, companies would bribe CEs to upgrade
their machines.

Does the root CA certificate on the bottom of the server chain have the "Trust"
attribute set (or in a trusted location)?
Is it presenting its server chain properly?
OPENSSL is your friend here. It's free to download. Use "openssl s_client

Tony,
Compression (as in ZIP) and compaction (as in IDRC tapes) are not the same
process.
IDRC exploits the nature of IDRC compatible physical tape cartridges by writing
everything using the cartridge's internal optimal physical block size. This is
done by the cartridge drive's controller.

You may want to see if you can get a FlexCub which, with its PC Escon card,
will connect your z114 to a PC based platform and emulate every type of z114
peripheral you could possibly use.
Using standard Escon fiber cable, the z114 Escon connects directly to a PC Card
that is a mainframe
Enzo,
If you really want to do something outstanding (i.e. impress a university
admissions committee), that doesn't require any hardware or operating system
software beyond the z114, consider writing code that runs "on metal." This is
commonly done in engineering for architectures such as ARM.
Oscar,
What you're missing is what used to be called the IRG (Inter Record Gap) on
physical disk records.
Now, on modern 3390 formatted disks, it is a more complicated calculation
involving "cells," but it's the same idea; and only 12 4096 byte CIs will fit.

Consider the timing of this announcement (though not the announcement itself).
It coincides with, and is almost certainly intended to distract from, IBM's
earnings announcement, which was dismal. IBM is only only member of the DOW to

You could use the BOM UTF characters to determine whether a file is UTF or
not, and what form of UTF (UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32, big-edian or little-edian) is
being used.
The BOM characters are the UTF defined characters usually inserted
transparently at the beginning of a UTF file. Granted this

I recently attended an IBM meeting which addressed why young people are

You would need a lot of real storage and billions of CCWs, but it's
theoretically possible.
You wouldn't need billions of CCWs, you could use the READ MULTIPLE CKD

track along with whatever setup and positioning CCWs

Hi, here is my opinion (and this definitely falls under the category of
obscure C):
You are not considering the implications of sequence points in your C/C++.
Sequence points should not be confused with operator precedence. Operator
precedence is determinate, sequence points are not.

I wonder how that compares to all the data stored on DNA in all living things

I use the Load from Removable Media or Server function on the HMC frequently,
for many purposes. We run z9s, z10s and z196s. I always access HMCs via their
web interfaces.
All of our mainframes are in two sites 17 miles apart. They are mirrors of each
