Jim, As much as I do respect you, I can't agree with that suggestion. z/OS' Health Checker compontent has chosen to name its z/OS UNIX related keywords beginning with the letters USS. A guess that this component had to pass naming convention, quality assurance and whatever other boards within IBM. The keys are still named USS_xyz. This somehow proves to me that the abbreviation is largely accepted with IBM itself. I'd really love to understand why on earth people like you are defending that term in the name of VTAM. You won't change this anymore, like nobody else will. "USS" has become the defacto standard name for z/OS UNIX System Services. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
