18x18x48 - do you mean the size of the bag?

What is 'TNF'? - Acronym Police said amongst a lot of things this jewel - 
'That's Not Funny.'  
(from http://www.acronymfinder.com) 

Now, my question - those bags - are they not in a sturdy wood or carton box? Or 
from what were they made of?

We had a room full of 3800's in early 80's guess they were Line mode. But  
DCF had a DEV(3800)
and it was used extensively. Guess the big push was to the Kyocera engines  
with the 3835. Don't think I did a PSF install until late '86. 
 
The 3835 demo team was at SHARE and guess it was the Sunday tour. Really  
impressive. Think they were driving it with a POWER PC of some flavor. The  
Demo CE said he was still recovering from the rollout. Just as the bigwigs 
due  to show up the 'Change toner bag' light came on and he scurried out to

Incidentally, PSF's SMF6 records have more content these days, some of

be installed separately in its own SMP/E zones (it used to be necessary 
to install it in the z/OS zones) and it supports enable/disable via

Indeed. See the below URL for more info + lifecycle of PSF.

John,

Thanks, I am surprised. Going back to conversations I had with PSF  
level 2, 1. They were surprised at my calling back almost daily on  
bugs. 2. They seem to indicate this was all new code.

They were fairly good at finding the bugs (thank goodness).

Yep size of bag. They were made of soft sided quilts and were recycled to  
pull out the toner. TNF is short for chemical composition Tri-nitro 
flouride(?).  It was powdered on 3835 on 3800 it was pellets and there was a
grinder to make the powder.

At that time, I did not want to take the burden to extend any JES2 control

Later, JES2 exit 23 aquired some storage (getmain) to store this data for PSF

You can test by just putting your exit in a separate exits
