I try to use a separate minidisk/sfs-directory for the installation and maintenance of each tool. But for production, I try to have two minidisks , one for general users and one for sysprogs. The Y-disk is my favorite spo t for the general user tools. On my IFL VM system, I am trying to use R for
the sysprog disk (MAINT 19F). BTW, don't worry about using that name (z/OS) or even that other name (MV S). A lot of us have been providing virtual machines for those systems to run in for a long time. :) /Tom Kern /301-903-2211 On Mon, 9 Jul 2007 13:30:19 -0700, Lionel B.
