IUCV stands for Inter-User-Communication-Vehicle (or some similar
thing. IUCVTRAP is not a debugging tool but a public domain 
utility written by Artie Echock (sp?) of CUNY (I think). In the
VM environment IUCVTRAP is invoked from an EXEC2 or REXX program.
It sits and waits until an IUCV interrupt happens and parses the
incomming information and allows the program to manipulate it or
trigger other tasks.
	The program has a rival developed at Penn State University
called RXIUCV which is a rexx callable function that does the 
same tasks and has a function call interface as compared to the
external module call of IUCVTRAP. I am not sure it that is PD.
	IUCVTRAP is available on the annual VM Workshop tapes and
I believe it is also on the Waterloo Tools tape. I am not sure if
I have a copy online, if you are interested, let me know by pvt
email.
