I stand corrected. It was 1995, not 1992, and it hasn't been enhanced since. 
Maybe it was a lack of demand in VTAM rather than in SFS. (If only our z/OS 
folks would hurry up and get 1.7 in so that we could do away with VTAM on VM. 
We need the TCPNJE support.)

Oh, and I should follow-up that the lack of customer demand was likely due 
to lack of entrenched and widespread customer use of SFS at the time. VTAM 
4.2 came out in 1995.  SFS was only 7 years old.
