RE: A Blast from the Past -- MI400

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your offer.  I was able to locate a book on the web about
System/3 Assembler (!), which I assume was the ancestor of System/34
(and System/36.  However, I would appreciate it if you could run me off
a copy; I would be happy to send you a cheque for your time and postage.

I was interested in how the macroprocessor worked (I remember that was
one of the topics covered in the manual).  Not to show my age either,
but I started with the System/34.  Actually, I/S is my second career (or
first, since being a bank teller was not exactly a career :)).  We
wanted to purchase a System/38, but there was no banking software
written for it at the time (1982).

Thanks again for your response,

Richard Hart

P.S.  I still have the manual for the AS/400 Edit-Document function of
Office; I am not sure why, since I really never used it (I forget the
exact title).  EDTDOC was hard for me to master, although I have talked
to folk who really liked it.  Anyway, I will be happy to give it away if
anyone would like to have it (admirers of ancient word processing
implementations! ... )

I happen to have a copy of the S/36 Programming with Assembler manual
(SC21-7908) if that's the one you're looking for.  It's not for sale,
but I
could run off a copy for you if you don't get any better responses.

And not to show my age around here, but I also still have my copy of the
S/34 Basic Assembler and Macro Processor Reference (SC21-7705).  Can't
say
that I've used either recently, but they sure got some use many years
ago
when I was an SE...

Bruce

Everyone,

Leif suggested I ask the MI list if anyone knows where I can beg, buy,
borrow, or _____ a copy of the System/36 Assembler manual!   Well,
preferably BUY; used is OK.  I had a nostalgia attack last week when I
realized my one-and-only copy had disappeared somehow.  IBM no longer
sells them, evidently.  [Do I hear laughter :-)?]

THX,

Rich Hart
