I have not been able to find an English translation. Google Translate does a great job at this text and I think its worth the work for people interested in early global networked messaging and computing with Mainframes, Unix, pre-TCPIP, post-TCPIP etc... After googling after some exotic hardware mentioned in the text, I found a translated section from this text in "History of Nordic Computing" [0]. I am helping my girlfriend with an internal project in SAS, and I found this text when I was searching for documentation on an ancient Mainframe "QQLIF file" which is still in use today! This text does indeed contain a description of it: "All messages in and out of systems were logged on logtapes, so we started using them to extract traffic in the network. IBM mainframe computer was we used for our data processing and SAS (Statistical Analysis System) was the "language" we programmed in. At an earlier point, we had been losing track over which terminals we had and where they stood. Therefore, we had already built up a widely used file called QQLIF and contained a variety of information about each terminal. It was both a real time online "direct access" file at Unisys, and a batch copy on IBM. Mainframes known terminal's trust, and by means of QQLIF file could be translated into PLID. Because of strict PLID'ens building could we add line drop, controls, and terminal for individual messages."

  Google Translate told me "The page you requested was too large to translate" - got a working GT link?

    I am afraid you have to translate the section you wish to read by copying and pasting into Google Translate. A minor hassle imo.

  > an ancient Mainframe "QQLIF file" which is still in use today! I work in the travel industry, I was recently looking at a system's documentation with included revision tracking going back to the 1980s. System does the same thing it did in the 80s (presumably with completely different hardware/software)
