Don't give marketers any ideas, Chris.  :-)

The book is Volume II of "System Performance Feature Reference for IBMR
TivoliR Decision Support for z/OSR".  What a mouthful.

The preface also includes this helpful text:

The following terms are used interchangeably throughout this book:

    * Tivoli Decision Support for z/OS and Tivoli Decision Support for
OS/390
    * MVS(TM), OS/390, and z/OS
    * OPC and Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS

Nuttin' about Unix System Services, USS, or any combinations of the letter z
and Linux.

Later,
Ray
