Modern kids .... ;) Peter I love your insights, but this was (historically) royally fucked up. When I started looking at (64-bit) object allocation in OS/390 2.10 there was no doco, let alone migration assistance. The ISV monitors were scrabbling (unsuccessfully) to catch up, and even IPCS was adrift in its mappings. There was no Programming Extended Addressability Guide - nothing. Nor was there any sharing of such objects. That was announced a the Share session Ed and I mentioned. High Common ???. Keep on dreaming. And all this was after the 64-bit REGION=0M initial design fiasco. Fortunately things move on.
