Huh? > We're running zVM 4.2, not 4.2.

Considering that there are other fixes you need to make the rest of your trial viable, then you are unlikely to be able to succeed with your goals if you can't get even the limited support. What part of that is non helpful? > Sorry to be blunt, but I was really looking for which way I > should be going, within the walls I have around me. The > answers have been fairly much the same as "Put out your > resume, and find a job at a company with a different system..." Please look at the responses again. The responses you got are that you are making this unnecessarily difficult for youself when you have other alternatives that are vastly simpler than the one you are using. The support issue is one you're going to have to solve if you want to use any of the commercial products you mentioned in earlier postings; most simply don't work correctly without patches. Sorry if it's not what you wanted to hear, but that's the way it is.
