Re: Announcement Letters, part Duh

[Bill Fairchild]

Or maybe the power of Murphy's Law.

I have found a way to foil Murphy's Law most of the time.  Whenever I go 
anywhere, such as a doctor's office, automobile repair shop, etc., at which I 
might possibly have to wait, I always take something with me to read while 
waiting.  I almost never have to wait when I get there.  If I don't take 
anything with me to read, there will already be a one-hour-long waiting line 
ahead of me.  It also works when driving.  If I have something I am trying to 
do while driving, like shave using my portable battery-powered shave, the 
traffic lights will all be green and I never have to stop, thus I never get a 
chance to do whatever the other thing was that I wanted to do while driving.  
But if I don't have anything else to do, then all the traffic lights are red 
when I arrive at them.

Back to mainframes.  The same works when I submit a batch job to assemble some 
code.  If I have something else to do when waiting for the job to finish, it 
will finish almost instantaneously.  But if I have no other work to do while 
waiting, then something will go wrong go wrong go wrong and my job will run 
very sloowly.

It being Tuesday it's my normal habit to review the latest IBM 
Announcement Letters but not having any joy bringing them up.  I usually

use this link:

Announcement Letters unavailable?

[Karl Huf]

It being Tuesday it's my normal habit to review the latest IBM 
Announcement Letters but not having any joy bringing them up.  I usually 
use this link:
http://www-306.ibm.com/common/ssi/apilite?infotype=an&infosubt=ca&lastdays=7&ctvwcode=us&hitlimit=200&appname=USN

but that's timing out.  Even searching on the topic "Announcement Letters" 
within IBMLink and selecting a specific letter from the results list comes 
back with the same thing.  It's quite possible it's been moved, again, as 
what used to be so easy to access under the old 3270 IBMLink is typically 
hidden, IMO, under a series of non-intuitive links on the web version.

Anyone else experiencing this or have a better mousetrap?  Thanks.

Used to be out there in the IBM Pubs pages, a complete history going back to

was just very recent stuff.

Thanks; it's helpful for the newer stuff. 

I'd still like an index of the announcement letters for DF/DS, DF/EF,
ICR's, MVS/SE, MVS/SP early releases, OS/VS1, OS/VS2, SAM-E,
selectable units and TSO Command package, to say nothing of older
stuff.

Thanks; it's helpful for the newer stuff. 

I'd still like an index of the announcement letters for DF/DS, DF/EF,
ICR's, MVS/SE, MVS/SP early releases, OS/VS1, OS/VS2, SAM-E,
selectable units and TSO Command package, to say nothing of older
stuff.

Always safest to bookmark without the numeric part at the front of the
