1) IND$FILE is a "proprietary" file transfer mechanism supplied by IBM which
   (obviously) requires host applications to run. Most companies which provide
   this capability either got the protocol specifications from IBM (under
   contract) or reverse engineered from the IBM product offerings (which is
   what we did). It is highly unlikely that you could get source from any
   company unless you are willing to pay for it.

2) My company, Rabbit Software Corporation, provides 3270 SNA emulation 
   products under various UNIX dialects with the IND$FILE capability. For
