I passed all the info I got from this list onto the programmers and they can decide what to do.
John Gilmore sent the info about using RMODE(SPLIT) and Charles Mills sent a very comprehensive document (previously presented to the list) that he wrote about how to convert assembler code doing such i/o's to 31 bit rmode(any).
