Sorry to pass this on but IBM treats IND$FILE or DDM (Distributed Data
Management) file transfer as a secret. They have refused to provide us with
the specs. However they have published part of it in 2 manuals I know of
1. an OS/2 1.1 comm mgr red book and 2. in a grey manual for PC/3270.
I don't have the numbers handy.

We used traces to figure it out and it was real fun.
