Chris: LE (and thus the C runtime) is an integral component of z/VM so you don't need to install anything else. ISPF is required ONLY if you want to use the storage management panels in DFSMS/VM. If you are installing DFSMS/VM for RMM or you are fine using the commands for storage management, you don't need ISPF. Jim
