they are, in fact, the same. If you go into the 'lib' directory and do a 'ls
-l', you will get the permission bits on the left. If the first character is a
'-', it's a normal file, but if it's a 'l', it's actu
Hi Bob,
It is a quiet list which is probably self-fulfilling. I have seen several
questions on IBM-Main over the last several months regarding assembler

they come over here and get their questions answered so don't bot
Yeah, I don't understand why IBM didn't just use DD card syntax instead of

Not according to IBM. The z12 and z13 are like this, but according to this IBM
