I think we need to come up with the list of topics for ALL 80+ chapters a nd in the process discuss their appropriate location, VM-101, How-To or Nifty-Tricks. I hadn't even thought of the DUMP/ETR processing as topics,
but VM-101 definately needs an introduction to DUMP (Why do I have that h uge file and why should I talk to IBM about it). All of these topics deserve a How-To/Nifty-Tricks version in the appropriate volume after it has been introduced in VM-101. But the project deserves the whole list of topics to work from. /Tom Kern /301-903-2211 On Wed, 2 Aug 2006 00:48:37 -0400, Alan Altmark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >You're illustrating my point fabulously, David!
