47 Bulk Input Services for Unix - BIS

Emerging Unix (and Windows NT ?) print servers will have to accept data from "legacy" systems and they will be faced with the problem of dealing with (bulk) print data originating from these conventional/legacy (mainframe) systems on open reel tape and or cartridges.

BIS addresses these problems ...... BIS V1R1 provides comprehensive input support for a large range of IBM industry standard format open reel and (3480/3490) cartridges and outputs "normal" mode Unix files in a variety of user selectable formats.

45 Unix ROLO/XPFC V3R1 Release Notice

V3R1 is a major release for users of Unix XPFC.

Although the end-user interface remains unchanged, there are major internal design and coding changes, to eliminate the dependency on the previous "secret" use of the C Compiler, and also to provide considerable extensions to the run-time controls for creating and connection to the various multiple/mixed-mode Configurator Files.

This release also prepares the scene for possible incorporation of a VIPP driver into Unix XPFC ...... and which will also provide concurrent support for multiple (mixed mode) DJDE and VIPP powered lasers being run alongside each other.

43 MVS/JES2 ROLO/XPFC V3R3 Issue Notice

The MVS/JES2 version of XPFC continues to perform strongly .... especially in the USA.

Major developments and enhancements have been implemented, together with a vast number of refinements and extensions that were mainly end user driven.

This summarises all the new V3R3 features, and those that have been "rolled forward" into this "Best Ever" release of the software.

36 Support Services

This described the scope and services provided by our standard XPFC support services.

Often, users think that support services just cover "arms length" support for bug resolution etc. The XPFC support service is much more comprehensive than this, you really should read this and take advantage of the services and support that are all included with your standard XPFC service.
