I suspect that if IBM extends the 3270 display stream to add
handshaking for changing the screen size in the middle of the session,
that it will only be for SNA[1] devices. Of course, they could decide
to do everything using Read Partition - Query et al.

There was mention of an APAR for 14-bit addresses in the logon panel;
that's on the application side.

That shouldn't require any change to existing application code that
looks at the BIND[2] image or the equivalent information in the Query
Reply.

The usual complaint on the Internet is too much quoting. It can be
difficult to relate a response to the correct text if to much
additional text is quoted around it. Which seems to be what happened
here.

I doubt that it was obvious to anybody with ICA experience that you
did not mean ICA. Quoting a product name is not enough of a hint that
you are not actually referring to that product.
