Please explore CBT Tape File 830 - Xephon MVS articles
Sam Golob
CBT Tape File 830 contains 926 articles (with their code, as an
EBCDIC pds) from Xephon's MVS Update magazines, ranging from July 1987
thru December 1996. The material covered is very wide-ranging, and it
is very possible to search for coding examples there. Xephon does not
publish their magazines any more, and Thomas publications has given
www.cbttape.org the right to support most of the code. So you can now
use this code, with the same disclaimer as for the CBT Tape collection
itself. (Also see www.cbttape.org/xephon for PDF's of the newer
magazines (not just MVS) from 1998 thru 2005).
I have already created CBT File 835 out of one of the articles (from
Nov 1994), a PPT display program, and I invite you to find what you
want, and try to get it working. In the process of doing this myself, I
discovered some ASCII to EBCDIC conversion glitches (x'B0' to x'5F') and
I have attempted to correct them in the version of CBT File 830 that is
on the Updates page of www.cbttape.org. So go to the Updates page of
www.cbttape.org to get the source.
CBT Version 479 has just been cut, and it now contains 52 updated
files, changed from Version 478.
I'm looking forward to seeing some results from your explorations of
File 830. Please write to me about any observations you make. (Thanks
in advance.) And please send in any results to me, if you can, so
everybody can benefit from your work.
All the best of everything to all of you.
Sincerely, Sam
