In order to maintain functional and operational compatibility with prior TPF releases, special considerations have been given to the use of existing applications (for example, airlines reservation) from terminals such a the 2915, 4505 and 1977. For this purpose, all application programs whose input message editor is UII (03-UII) are indicated in each RCAT as a RES-type application. When an agent on a terminal wants to access a RES-type application, he must first request log-in to the application, followed by a sign message. Because of the special considerations given to the RES-type applications, many MR components contain certain code used to process input from terminals connected to RES-type applications. For example, the Agent Assembly Area (AAA) record is retrieved by WGR rather than the Routing Control Block (RCB), messages are input to RES-type applications in IMG format (IMG), no RCPL is initialized, and so on.
