As for other vendors shipping (only) non-SMP format, that's
> generally because they have no idea of how to package their product.
Perhaps true for some vendors but not Innovation.
Our modules don't intersect or depend on any IBM modules, so the
checking done by SMP is not useful.
These days most of our distributions are by email or FTP. The product
libraries can be installed in 5 minutes and the only other required step
is to authorize the load library with a console command. Try that with SMP.
Our maintenance is in the form of zaps, which apply easily without SMP
