Long shot, but does anyone have something like a style / HCI / best practices guide for mainframe terminal applications?
So things you'd see on a 3270 terminal at your travel agency or bank. IBM's ISPF or VMS TDMS, I guess.
Never been part of that particular enterprise sector – and don't actually want to – but I often wonder whether I'm missing out on some application patterns that could be used elsewhere, too.
