Back in the days when men were men and programmers did hardware too,
customers were allowed to put things on the name-your-SVM 191 disk,
including any and all TCP/IP service v-machines. Pfftth!!!
But what can we say? The vendor of the IBM TCP/IP product annexed
the 191 disk the way Houston, Texas annexes bedroom boroughs.
Ahhh.... The joys of uncontrolled sprawl.
The 190 disk is different. I'd sooner intercept the CMS IPL text
than put files on the 190 disk. Remember Mother's rules and
DON'T comingle your stuff with IBM's stuff. 190 was no annexation.
