This is largely because of AI.
Many content creators are cutting way back on what they make available on the
Internet.
They must do this because they do not want AI bots taking their information off

attribute set (or in a trusted location)?
Is it presenting its server chain properly?

Tony,
Compression (as in ZIP) and compaction (as in IDRC tapes) are not the same
process.
IDRC exploits the nature of IDRC compatible physical tape cartridges by writing
everything using the cartridge's internal optimal physical block size. This is
done by the cartridge drive's controller.
So
hands on one.
Thank you,

You may want to see if you can get a FlexCub which, with its PC Escon card,
will connect your z114 to a PC based platform and emulate every type of z114

Enzo,
If you really want to do something outstanding (i.e. impress a university
admissions committee), that doesn't require any hardware or operating system
software beyond the z114, consider writing code that runs "on metal." This is
commonly done in engineering for architectures such as ARM.
Oscar,
What you're missing is what used to be called the IRG (Inter Record Gap) on
physical disk records.
Now, on modern 3390 formatted disks, it is a more complicated calculation
involving "cells," but it's the same idea; and only 12 4096 byte CIs will fit.

Consider the timing of this announcement (though not the announcement itself).
It coincides with, and is almost certainly intended to distract from, IBM's

Hi, here is my opinion (and this definitely falls under the category of
"obscure C"):
You are not considering the implications of "sequence points" in your C/C++.
"Sequence points" should not be confused with "operator precedence." Operator
precedence is determinate, sequence points are

I use the "Load from Removable Media or Server" function on the HMC frequently,
for many purposes. We run z9s, z10s and z196s. I always access HMCs via their
