How sure are you that it is gone rather than hidden at a new URL?

I don't think TN3270/TN3270E protocols are related to this manual.
They're basically just a layer used to pass the binary 3270 data stream
back and forth.

But Lennie has a good point.  I have a printed copy -05 from 1990 and
it's pretty beat up.  I seem to remember it on an IBM doc site until
(guessing) 2005 or so, then it was suddenly gone.  Maybe someone made a
mistake in removing it, because it's certainly required for anybody who
wants to code their own 3720 screens, or simply wants to know how things
work.
