| 841875 | 2010-02-25 00:52:00 | okay then, what if there was only one terminal in the Otahuhu watch house & that was terminal identifier OHPWA, could OHPWA send a switch message to WNPWA, & that switch message produce a transaction identity tag of OHPWAB or OHPWA1 or OHPWA2 |

| 841876 | 2010-02-25 00:54:00 | No if it was sent from OHPWA, then it'll show OHPWA. The terminal has to exist, before you can either send from it or send to it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 841877 | 2010-02-25 00:54:00 | Hmmmmmm. I don't think OHPWAB WA1 or WA2 are legit terminals. But OHPWB is valid for example. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 841878 | 2010-02-25 00:59:00 | They may have been in 1993. They may not be now, Since Otahuhu court doesnt exist | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 841879 | 2010-02-25 01:12:00 | What, may I ask, has the Otahuhu Court got to do with the problem? | Sweep (90) | ||
| 841880 | 2010-02-25 01:14:00 | Well some of those terminals may have been in it thats why. And since it doesnt exist now those terminals may not exist either | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 841881 | 2010-02-25 01:24:00 | Is there an explanation for OHPWAB in the transaction tag then in terms of the B in OHPWAB referring to a backscreen? I am looking along the lines of whether or not the Wanganui computer terminals in 1993, had an ability to switch between two windows on a screen, the equivalent of using 2 windows on a modern computer? Could the B being attached the terminal identifier OHPWA be indicative of the switch message being sent in this mode, from a back screen? |

| 841882 | 2010-02-25 01:24:00 | A terminal identified as OHPWA was located in the Police watch house in Otahuhu. A terminal identified as WNTRA was located in the MOT building in Wellington. So the first four letters give Location and entity and the last letter identifies the specific terminal. I would not have a clue where the terminals reside at this time or even if any survive. |

| 841883 | 2010-02-25 01:26:00 | What, may I ask, has the Otahuhu Court got to do with the problem? The OH part refers to Otahuhu, the location, not the Otahuhu Court. |

You could be right it did have 2 screens, so the B may well mean the back screen . Most terminal ID's were only 5 letters, or 3 letters and a number (IIRC) |
