Thanks for all the replies. It appears that the libraries are unnecessary baggage left over from a bygone era.

We use Xerox printers and a related product called XPAF to drive local and distributed printing. We have no IBM mainframe printers or related products. The XPAF PROCs allocate the following libraries, which I would assume from the names were IBM libraries: SYS1.FONTLIB SYS1.FDEFLIB SYS1.PDEFLIB SYS1.PSEGLIB SYS1.OVERLIB I just installed z/OS 1.4 and noticed that these weren't allocated. A look back at the OS/390 2.10 ServerPac libraries shows that they weren't allocated then either. Where do these come from? The XPAF guy denies any knowledge. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
