Ah, flattered to be included in that list of fine VM folks. However, I'm running around like a chicken without its head these days. Be careful what you ask for - build it they will come - and then they won't go away! I think it was way easier being a less important o/s fighting for survival rather than here in the limelight (head light, whatever).
Now, I've got a new guy who I though I would give the straightforward task of "Order the PTFs required for z/VM 510 to run on a 2094. Do this by checking on the PSP bucket for 2094DEVICE". Easy,peasy, right? The list of stuff to order at the bottom on ibmlink.com of that bucket is a whole mishmash of different releases, and didn't cover the ones actually needed. If you open an ETR these days and ask a real person to order you the bucket, is it possible to download electronically? The last thing I need is an actual tape! Anyway - put that stuff in the book since I'm finding it hard to explain to anyone! Marcy Cortes This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
