But having enough complaints from different people (not just me - after all, 
we're just someone out in Europe!) may get a few of the 'suits' thinking, and a 
few technicians in a position to do something about it might start pushing for 
better solutions and for introducing better designs!

Great. Sounds like something from the mouse-pusher platform. Will be the 
death of z/OS as we know and love it.

And going back to mean USS=OMVS: We've had three problems when 
telnetting into OMVS: abend913 followed by abendB78 (wrong tcb for getmain) 
followed by abend0C4. The first was declared a problem in our BPX setup, the 
second (occuring in resolver code) will most probably get fixed in BPX code, 
and the third already has an apar in BPX code. 

There isn't much work left in the actual 'exploiting' component when 
everything eventually harks back to BPX code!
