o What is LRSQ? o What is DRS? o On what platform does each run? o Explain "sends" (XMIT? FTP? SMTP? NFS? Gopher? WAIS? Other (specify)? ) o On what platform did you run your XMIT test? Did the input data to XMIT contain the x'40'? o Explain "spools"? o What platform does your PDF viewer run on? o Etc. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
