Geez. See the first paragraph in my OP. <g> Yeah, a lot of tape in there. When IBM was asking here about software delivery not on tape I should have said "will you update the SMPE manuals also?"
Yes, we use GIMZIP. And GIMSMP. And pax. All we are supporting currently for delivery is FTP from our server. We support FTP straight to the customer's mainframe, because a customer told me "if I have to use a PC to install it, it's not a real mainframe program." Okay, whatever. SMPE is in place. The only thing new was a load module with an alias that is critical to its operation.

And, perhaps worse, Packaging Rules tells a lot about tapes, but nothing (IIRC) about network delivery nor about CD/DVD. Are you planning to use GIMZIP (that's in Reference)? What delivery medium, network or physical (both?) And, AFAIK, IBM provides nothing for ISVs to support RECEIVE ORDER. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
