- Jim,
-
- I certainly understand your frustration with this list. While I appreciate
- that I bear none of the burden, I would very much like you to keep APPC-L
- alive. I know very little about VTAM, almost nothing about LU type 2 PU 0
- devices, and just a little about LU6.2 (all that I know is in the APPCDEMO
- program I contributed.) However, I have been given the task of writing a
- "Terminal Server" that will be developed under VM/XA SP 2.1 and go into
- production under MVS/XA. It will be an application from a VTAM menu on one
- side, handling 3270 input. On the other side, it will drive LU6.2
- conversations with an application on an RS/6000 running AIX, hopefully to
- support "signons". I may well need to get assistance from those subscribed
- to this list.
-
- On the other hand, maybe there just isn't enough APPC stuff going on that
- people can share to make the list worthwhile. We have a list here,
- COMTEN-L, with about 160 subscribers and less traffic than APPC-L, and have
- the same concerns. I have thought about starting a VTAM Programming List
- (versus installation and configuration) but fear that it, too, would go
- nowhere.
-
- Maybe developers know everything so they don't subscribe, and maybe the rest
- of us feel we know so little that we are too embarrassed to share. I'd like
- to know if anyone else is writing any code, and if so, what for?
