The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Yes I am not that familiar with stream files actually. How are they used?

HI I was interested in hearing of some typical uses you have with
using the IFS? It is one of the areas we are exploring in the need
to modernize our legacy systems here.
I use it to store my database files, source members, program objects,
data areas, etc. Gee whilikers, everything I create is stored in the
IFS. Fancy that!
IFS means Integrated File System. Every thing that is addressable
from the OS is found in the IFS (with the possible exception of the
machine context). Perhaps you mean "what do we use stream files and
directories for?" which is an entirely different question.
