- VMFHASM works fine. Besides adding Vtam maclibs ( VTAMAC, VTAMBLD ),
- I added GCS maclib (CSIGPI, CSIOM )

-
- Your Prolog specifies that the program was developped under VM/XA SP 2.1
- and VTAM 3.3. I do not know much about VM/XA nor do I know anything about
- VTAM. All I was interested in is APPC, and APPCDEMO happen to be something
- I can try.

-
- That I would not know for sure .. I have not run it yet ... The problems
- I had were not knowing what to global what kind of assembler to use.

-
- VM/ESA 1.0 and VTAM 3.3

-
- I do not know anyone either that is why I asked. I do not want to put
- a lot of work into it just to find out later that I can't run it.
