> alter of progress "Alter" of progress. I get it. Very clever, what a pun!
I wonder how many people will 'progress' right past it? You did actually intend that pun, right? Right? Yes, of course you did. You're too clever to not have meant it. That's your story and you're sticking with it. Mike Walter Hewitt Associates The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.

As to the RSCS CRI, do you mean that your programs using the CRI didn't spell out the command name and got caught by the abbreviation change? I'm fairly certain that RSCS doesn't issue the CP FORWARD command on his own. In any case, the number of people with channel-attached printers on z/VM is getting pretty darned low. We chose to sacrifice FO on the alter of progress rather than create an unintuitive command (8 letters isn't a lot). Sure, there's a bit of grumbling from one or two people, but the world continues to turn on its axis. When we made TCP/IP low port numbers protected by default, that was a much larger incompatibility, and people got past it. But don't worry, the world-renown "IBM Mainframe Hoops of Compatibility" are still installed here. But they are flaming *hoops*, not solid lead Discs of Doom. :-) Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott The information contained in this e-mail and any accompanying documents may contain information that is confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.
