Perhaps VSE systems do not about system integrity. If they do, then the fact that use of key 9 common storage is a "cheap trick" is not important; it it still a system integrity exposure.
It's a "blast from the past." None of the early machines and systems I ran on cared about that (704 through 7094, DOS and PCP on a 360/40). Any machine not connected to the outside world can be controlled by management, although basic memory protection is nice(r) for debugging. Gerhard Postpischil Bradford, VT
