Does this support both UNIX and legacy files?  If the latter, does it
require RECFM=V?  Using a variable-length character encoding in
fixed length records seems pretty inconsistent.

How does it report invalid UTF-8 byte sequences?

Does it still automatically switch to CAPS ON?  What does it
recognize as majuscule or minuscule with CAPS ON in Cyrillic
characters, e.g.?

Indeed.  Emulators?  What about hardware for the emulators to
emulate?  Or does it require WSA?

What representation does it use in the 3270 data streams?  Is
this well documented in the Data Streams reference?  What must
it do to avoid embedded 3270 command bytes?  Is this compatible
with Yale/7271/IND$FILE/Kermit conventions?
