I totally apologize if I am beating the dead horse. But if I understood correctly, software that emulates a device like MFNet could be done with a supported means/interface, and I assume from what I read would be EXCP running authorized.
So if I wanted to write something like MFNet (and i don't) would I have to use STARTIO? Or could I used a supported way. And if I don't need to use STARTIO, then when would I choose it? Regards!

At the time I was using EXCP in an authorized program to do most of the same things that STARTIO will allow you to do but unauthorized EXCP will not, such as do I/O to an offline device, do I/O to an unallocated DASD track, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
