Agreed. If you have a large MASDEF and you try to list volume stats
from a different system, it can take quite a while for the info to
come back. Suggestion is shared checkpoint volumes be at 100 at all
times, or gen the checkpoint volume to just the systems that use it.

So, you will have a load module marked AM32. All instructions use
only the lower half of the registers, no grande or high portion
instructions. The program loader gets memory at x' 8
' (or the next location not in use) and loads your program, sets
AM64 and calls your entry point.

If you go too small of memory for them you would have to shut all of
