I'm way out of my area of expertise, but paranoia often drives my nose where it doesn't belong. This is definitely one of those times. Even a mindless (i.e., automated) CANCEL can have unintended consequences., even if it cleans up everything the operating system cares about. Even if a FORCE had been safe for TCSA (which apparently was not the case), automation tends to serve as a model for more automation. It would just be a matter of time before helpful automation administrator would pick FORCE for shutting down some other stubborn address space. <shudder> Pat O'Keefe ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
