Steve, when someone asked what "reengineering" FAST400 would reveal
my answer was: (I elaborate a bit here):

Every job runs one or more threads. In each thread there is a bit
set by the 5250 "drivers" every time the thread does 5250 I/O.
Simply scan all threads and reset the bit if set and CFINT doesn't
know about this job using 5250. No voodoo, no tricks, real simple.
It is a wonder that no-one has come out with such a product before.
Maybe FUD was a factor here? Certainly many posts to this list reek
of FUD   :-)
