I am replying because our news server is down.  I have found little of
much use.  Struble and Rudd, along with most other standard texts, give
a description of BASIC channel programming, but the real vagaries -- the
commands special to each device -- are contained only in the component
descriptions, so far as I know.  The fact is that IBM is discouraging
anyone other than vendors from doing CCW programming.

The question is: are you interested in old style (370/SP) or new style (370/XA)
programming?  I think I have some stuff on the latter (IBM internal instruction
material which is unclassified), which I can xerox and send you if you are
willing to reimburse me for the cost.  I am not sure where it is at the
moment, but I am off to Houston for a three-month system programming contract,
and should be unearthing it this weekend.

If you are interested, E-mail me and I shall advise you of what I have and
how long it is when I find it.  I warn you that I may be a bit slow in
responding, however.

Sincerely,
Robert A. West
