Uh ... since LE is part of the BCP, how, exactly, would it ever be "not available?" I am not disputing that there is, perhaps, some test that the binder code makes, but I cannot imagine what that test is. > will re-contact both Chris and William Blair about their list > of concerns. Looking forward to it. But - perhaps to save you some work - you should be aware that the resolution of most (if not all) of the issues identified in the past will be of absolutely no value to us whatsoever unless and until the restriction that the binder [API] cannot be invoked by a key zero routine in ANY arbitrary address space (within reason -- we are not expecting to do this inside of PCAUTH, for example) in a task whose TCB key is _not_ also zero. In other words, unless we can invoke the binder API in key zero (for the binder API to run in key zero) in a TCB whose TCB key is, say, 4, 8, 1, 6, or 7, and possibly even 2, 3, or 5, then any fixes or workarounds for all of the other issues would not be of any benefit (except, possibly, to some others). That may be why some of the dialog (in the past) was not continued or completed. Until the binder API can function as a full-fledged system service, it can't be used by any code that, itself, has to adhere to long-established MVS integrity and authority guidelines. -- WB ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
