Too bad. Another of my dreams crushed by cruel reality <grin>. I can envision ISPF under UNIX (perhaps only via X) by having a UNIX command which is APF authorized. This command sets up Subsystem SVC Screening for the TSO I/O (SVC 93/94?) services, then ATTACHes the actual TMP (IKJEFT01). The SVC screen would "translate" the normal terminal I/O into X (or ncurses?) calls by intepreting the 3270 stuff and translating them appropriately. But it is a "pipe dream" because I realize that there is really no real reason to do this. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
