No, it is a text file containing one of IBM's old descriptions of the reusability option in *the binder* and in now way makes any claim about the linkage editor. Further, it is incorrect: RENT by itself is not enough to protect a module from modification. Contrast wit Module reusability at <https://www.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/svc00100.nsf/pages/zOSV2R4sa231393/$file/ieab100_v2r4.pdf#page=55> and REUS: Reusability options at <https://www.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/svc00100.nsf/pages/zOSV2R4sa231393/$file/ieab100_v2r4.pdf#page=115> in z/OS Version 2 Release 4 MVS Program Management: User's Guide and Reference, SA23-1393-40.
There is still a minor error: "Therefore, refreshable modules must not modify themselves in any way" is a non sequitur. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
