1. HFS for downloads 2-3. unpack and IEBCOPY input for largest relfile. 4. Data sets for relfiles. A very simple enhancement to IEBCOPY would allow streaming directly from Internet (or local workstation), and eliminate (2) and (3) and relocate (1) to cheap squatty box storage. Sounds like a Requirement candidate. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
