Re: A step backward in time with EDTF

Hi, Brian:

I've had a number of interesting responses in this thread, some of which
may prove useful in other contexts. But nothing so far that beats the tool
I've already found, as basic as it is. Every answer so far suggests adding
hardware or software or both, and that's not where I'm coming from (unless
we are talking about easily installed free software).

We're networked nine ways from Sunday, but the sample scenario is
rudimentary. Say I have just sat down at the HMC at the satellite
location, carrying nothing related to the secondary i520 but the key to
the cage and a backup tape. I just walked there from our main building, a
couple hundred yards (meters) away. Then, say I decide I need a small CL
"utility". I could write it in my sleep (having done that many times in
the past) but all I have is the 5250 console on the HMC and no SEU. I
don't want to traipse back and forth, or go through geek gymnastics in
between trips, for that matter. I want immediate, and truth be told I want
lazy. So far, the path of least resistance is EDTF.

If this were an ongoing, high volume situation I would be looking at
adding something with some oomph. But this is occasional, low volume, and
simple stuff.

Darrell,

Not exactly an answer to the question you asked but If you're on an

i5-520

then you should have two Ethernet ports available to you and, unless it
wasn't loaded, you should have TCP/IP available since it's part of the

base

OS. So, configure TCP/IP and then you can use the PC based editor of

your

choice. If you don't have an existing network spend $30 on a
small switch/hub and a pair of Ethernet cables to get you by until you

do. I

always keep a small switch and cables in my backpack for such situations

so

that I can FTP source down to my laptop for editing with WDSC.

Kind regards,

BJ

Hi, Aaron:

WDSC isn't green screen, so it's out. I'm working on a dedicated 5250
console on an HMC. It's the only connection to the i5/OS command line

for

our failover deskside i520, at least for now.

I didn't find a source editor on Bob Cozzi's site.

I believe Bob Cozzi has an editor you could use. Check out his

website

at

www.rpgiv.com.

Also, is WDSC an option? That would be the best choice IMO. I

don't

know

if any PDM/SEU licensed programs are required for WDSC.
