Hello, all:

If you want to read about how SRTs and MRTs really worked, visit this web site:

http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/system3/

Here, you can read the original manuals:
IBM System/3 Communications Control Program Programming Reference
and
IBM System/3 Communications Control Program Program Logic Manual

Enjoy!

I don't think so -- the instance specific data is usually on the requesters machine, e.g. hidden input fields on a web page, or cookies. Afaik, once a web page has been delivered to a browser, the system forgets about it.

Yes, in this day and age we are no longer concerned with whether the program is in memory or not -- the OS handles that. But the main difference between SRT and MRT is whether the program has to maintain information about the requester's process -- an SRT program does not, an MRT program does.

In the System i world ... aren't all programs MRT's except the system
handles the instance specific data?
