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...<p>After googling after some exotic hardware mentioned in the text, I found a translated section from this text in &quot;History of Nordic Computing&quot; [0].<p>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 &quot;QQLIF file&quot; which is still in use today! 
This text does indeed contain a description of it:<p>&quot;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 &quot;language&quot; 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 &quot;direct access&quot; file at Unisys, and a batch copy on IBM. Mainframes known terminal&#x27;s trust,
and by means of QQLIF file could be translated into PLID. Because of strict PLID&#x27;ens
building could we add line drop, controls, and terminal for individual messages.&quot;<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;books.google.dk&#x2F;books?id=c7MlCQAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA276&amp;lpg=PA276&amp;dq=lorenz+agentset&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=kH7t_NKsLg&amp;sig=v3PTowEl_6lY8X-nxafQ9fOA5Ac&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0CCAQ6AEwAGoVChMIq8jBkeDpxwIVxZ1yCh26zgoK#v=onepage&amp;q=lorenz%20agentset&amp;f=false" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;books.google.dk&#x2F;books?id=c7MlCQAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA276&amp;lpg=P...</a>
