Re: snads support

  What must be realized is that some people consider anything old to be 
/legacy/ and not worth using, so those are not good reasons ;-)

  FWiW, even those who have never used SNA/DS could find some value in 
what is provided.  Not everything that TCP/IP features offer supplants 
or even eclipses [both in capabilities and implementation aspects; e.g. 
no pesky credentials to supply] what SNA offers.  Some commands plus a 
description:

  SBMNETJOB   Submit Network Job
  SNDNETF     Send Network File
  SNDNETMSG   Send Network Message
  SNDNETSPLF  Send Network Spooled File
  SNDDST      Send Distribution
