The "latest" version of RXLDEV that I know of is at: http://ukcc.uky.edu/~tools/1998/ (Yes, the last Tools "Tape" from the last VM Workshop!) From the RXLDEV Help file: RXLDEV is a REXX function which provides an interface to the CP Logical Device Support Facility. Using RXLDEV, a REXX EXEC manipulates logical terminals and logical printers which appear as real devices to host applications. Logical device printers can be attached to VTAM or RSCS, or can be enabled for use as CP local copy printers. Logical terminals can be used to signon to VM or other applications and are completely controlled by the REXX EXEC using RXLDEV. -- Dale R. Smith
