I have to agree with John. I would suggest building an install package from XMIT output (or even do a 2 stage XMIT, ie create a PDS with XMIT's of the different libraries, then XMIT the PDS to a flat file), and make it available from the internet. If the customer can't get the file via the internet from the mainframe, they probably can get it onto a PC. I would only cut tapes as an absolute last measure. At a past company, we had our mainframe software available on the internet, and we never once had to cut a tape.
