Hi
I am trying to download the SWAPGEN EXEC from the Sine Nomine website and
cannot get it in a format we can use. I do not understand why it is in
Mailable format. Can anyone please tell me how to do it or, if possible
send me the code

Both the 'FC AUTOREFR ON' and the 'FCONAPPC' command can be either included in
the FCONX $PROFILE, or you can append the commands to the PerfKit invocation as
follows: 'perfkit fc autorefr on;fconappc;' .

It's in MAILABLE format because it's actually a package of several
files.
Download the MAILABLE file to your VM system. RENAME the file to
SWPG0803 EXEC and run it to extract the 11 encoded files. Use and
enjoy.
Sorry Barton.
I wasn't sure of a good wording and figured you would step in to provide
the
correct state of affairs.

I think the reference was to a VTS unit. Is emulated tapes are called

That is excatally what it can do in VSE.. Point the output to an IP address
where the client is running (there is LINUX, WINDOZE, UNIX, etc. versions) and
run your VSE job to either read or write the tape input/output to the remote

Something I have done in the past is to use DoctorD in VSE which has a feature

It worked fine in DR tests, back when we used real tapes.

Yes, Adam is quite correct, the new install procedures for z/VM (at least

Thanks for the reply. VM:Secure has a revoke command. If I understand
the doc correctly, it takes the command and issues it to VM, almost
verbatim.
I do get the same error message when I issue the vmsecure revoke.
