Rick, I agree with Martin that its not feasible to support a diag pass-through. I have also seen your list of diagnoses which you consider interesting. In most cases I have no idea, why do you need this diagnose in Linux. So lets go one step further and find out: "What problems or scenarios do we want to solve WITHIN linux?" If we agree on the problem, we can then think about the solution and the appropriate abstraction. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards / Un cordial saludo Christian Bornträger Linux Software Engineer zSeries Linux & Virtualization IBM Deutschland Entwicklung GmbH email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel +49 7031 16 1975 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
