Re: How to determine if device is 27x132?

Sweet.

Got a question though.  Never used one, but do hand held provide scroll
bars?

Is there a 8x40 or some other display size?  Or is the display just
-real- tiny?

My first reaction was that every VP at IBM gets to create a new display
device once they hit a certain rung on the corp ladder <g> there's a
gazillion of them.  I would sure hate to hardcode device codes.

Also, I've not used WRKDBF but I understand that it is a freeware
product.  Is it also open source?
