showlock command

[GCC Consulting]

Dennis,

IBM's has an office at 590 Madison avenue and another on the Island.

Now it was a long time ago, but 590 had a very complete computer room
running most, of IBM's midrange offerings.

I did my  first System/36 to As/400 conversion there.  Have you considered
calling your sales Rep and finding out if they have a comparable machine
available with a compiler so that you could go there and compile this
program?
