FLEX-ES still supports 370 mode with a configuration file specification of "feature enable370" to include the support. Won't do you any good, though, if running a post z/VM 3.1 release of VM where CP will thumb its nose at you if try to CP SET MACHIN E 370, despite the machine capabilities. There are lots of important custom ers that had a critical need for 370 architecture to continue their vital wor k despite the wishes of some in the mid Hudson Valley to vaporize 370. I recall there was also a ptf required for z/VM 3.1 (apar VM62843) to successfully ipl a 370 mode guest due to a programming error in CP. I had more than a few easy "Hey, FLEX-ES is broken." "No, CP is broken." suppor t calls on that one. -- Gary Eheman
