Re: Peter still in misery (was: Jan doesn't want Peter to know (was: Peter wants

I was refering to the name of the patent, not to the first
line describing it. Yes I did read the entire docoument, 
and it is all about the hardware implementation, not about 
the actual (user) interface. I do not think it applies.

In fact I do not quite understand this sudden change in topic,
you were interested in the source of the z/sie block, which, 
if you are still interested, can find on the regular ibm 
website, under cp data areas, SI2BK.HTML is there the 64 bit 
copy of SIE, with a nice description of every single field.  
This together with the previously mentioned manuals is all there 
is to know.

However, I find it still 'strange' that you keep on insisting 
that the hercules developers would need extra documentation, 
above what is generally available, whereas yourself stated 
that fsi does not need any special documentation to build 
your product.

You stated this in a response to Roger complaining about your 
behaviour in 

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hercules-390/message/23147

Yet now you are trying to suggest that what you first stated is 
impossible?

The only conclusion that I can draw from this discussion is 
that everything Roger stated, how unfortunate it may be, 
is still the case today.

Well, you now know where to find the z/sie block doc, so that 
pretty much ends this discussion
