IPL 190 PARM NOSPROF INSTSEG NO

Who am I?  :-)

Trying to create a one-size-fits-all algorithm won't work.  At the end of 
the day analyzing INDICATE USER with knowledge of what your guests IPL is 
as good as anything.  If your system is, um, chaotic in that respect, then 
you have to backtrack a bit.

- If they IPLed 190, was it MAINTxxx 190 or something else you recognize? 
(QUERY MDISK USER xxxxxx 190).
- If they IPLed an NSS, do you recognize it?
- If they haven't IPLed anything, then does it matter?
- If they IPLed 191, hand it to an Inquisitor for further review.
