I had read of that before. One "problem" is that it assumes that I have a
base register for code. I have basically abandoned code base register and
now use the R&I versions of instructions. Of course, I could use the EXRL.
Except that EXRL doesn't exist on my z9BC. This is the _last_ processor
that I am likely to ever work on because z/OS has been "sunsetted" here and
will disappear no later than March 2016. Guaranteed. I know how they are
doing it and it _will_ work. But I am forbidden to talk about it. No, the
company is not going out of business, though that would work.

Oh, anybody know of a z/OS sysprog opening in the DFW metro-mess area?
Would really like to move on (after 20+ years here), especially if the new
place uses z/VM and z/Linux as well. <drool/>
