I respectfully disagree. Perhaps @Peter Relson has already said this better than I will, but it is hard to see the question in isolation. Yes, what you say is true: AC(1) by itself does little; it is neither necessary nor sufficient for running authorized. But I might assume that the OP already knows how (neglecting any permissions issue) to link into an APF library, and the question should be interpreted as "how do I get a program to start running authorized?"
I stand by my answer.

Not so; answering the question asked requires only a simple "yes". And deserves little more. Re the rest: AC(1) does far less that you and others imply. It's merely a signal the program wants to be authorized. The key is access to APF-authorized datasets. And if people who don't know what they're doing have access to those, well then, that system has some integrity issues. sas On Sun, May 6, 2018 at 11:32 AM, Charles Mills <[email protected]> wrote: > I apologize.
