Guys, 
 
I am looking into RACF certificates to handle Key Management, early stages 
looks doable.

 As a footnote it does all present some interesting
 challenges as far as Key
 Management, exchanging files with our Windows/Unix/Linux

 espically the Translation issues which happen (remember

If the only r/w area is the savearea, change the code to use the linkage

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

Re: C without LE

2009-01-18 Thread Barbara Nitz
Peter,

Systems Programming C (SPC) has been available as part of the regular
IBM C compiler for a long time now. You give up access to all LE
functions and limit yourself to a defined subset of C library functions.
The startup code is not dynamic and requires static links (so does LE
startup code...), but SPC is quite functional for some purposes.

thanks for that explanation. I am confessing my ignorance to all things C: If 
this has been around 'forever', why is there being made such a 'big deal' about 
MetalC? What exactly is the difference? 

Ed,
what you describe doesn't really sound like any Beta product that I am familiar 
with. They do use SMPE (how well is another question), and I never really had 
to relink anything (other than my own exits). To be fair to them, this wasn't 
really their bug, it was IBMs.

As for:
I can only remember it was from Europe and had a dickens of a time because 
their doc was in A4
(page size) format and it was hell getting it converted to the US size. 
Forgive me for saying that, but do you think the rest of the world likes to be 
forced to use some strange format that doesn't fit any paper we have available? 
It is actually nice for a change to speak my own language with them. :-)

Regards, Barbara Nitz
