I agree with you. That is *HIS* rule. Now, having said that, we do happen
to use SYS3 as the HLQ for all 3rd party software run-time libraries. I.e.
they are the ones which we customize. The "distribution" libraries start
with SYS5. And we even have SYS4 libraries which are "system" libraries
which the _programmers_ can update. So they're not really system
libraries. But at other shops, I have used other HLQs for OEM products.
E.g. COMPWARE. and CA.
