COMLNK is a software system designed to provide the user of a communication link between two processors with facilities for file transport and Job submission from one computer to another. It has been implemented for a high speed communication link between an IBM 360/370 running under OS/MFT, MVT VS1 or VS2 and a PDP 11 running under DOS. The various record formats which are supported by the operating systems for their file organizations can be handled in a straightforward manner, while conversion options from one format to another are possible. Files may be shipped, listed on the IBM printer, punched on the IBM punch or submitted to the jobqueue.
