I have used SuperC to compare two UNIX files (allocated to DD NEW and DD OLD). I'm guessing these could be POSIX pipes. Will SyzSpool write to pipes (perhaps allocated to DDNAMES)? will it do two concurrently? (If these run in different process spaces, it shouldn't care; it should hardly know.) Authors of utilities shouldn't ignore (much less deliberately thwart) the excellent facilities offered by z/OS Unix. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
