Re: Closed system (was: PC connection via twinax ?)

sorry about being fat-fingered.
ASC's SEQUEL was only written because
somebody lent the "Data Area Manual" (that documents
internal stuff on the S/38) to the author of SEQUEL.
So SEQUEL uses information NOT available to the
AS/400 programmers of today.
