'illegal' (at least as fas as IBM are concerned) and no longer a viable
option (since IBM included essentially mandatory PTF's to stop it).

Well, FAST400 clears the flag set by QT3REQIO from QWSGET/QWSPUT.
There does not seem to any (legal) difference between (FAST400) clearing
the flag or (you) preventing it from being set. So the "legality" is about
the same...
