I think Bob Rogers mentioned a handful of shares ago (maybe Dallas?) that he was considering "optimizing it out"; he left the impression that V=R was a short timer. Are there any V=R users around anymore? <SNIP> Well, kinda, Yes. While the following are not truly V=R users, they (at the time I was working at STL on development) were able to use KEYS 10-15. (These are AI languages). IBM Prolog for 370: USERKEYs 8-15. Modified before it went GA because of CICS mangling 9, to use 10-15. The Integrated Reasoning Shell (TIRS) was able to do the same in its subsystem interface (which it shared with Prolog). I understand that TIRS is no longer owned by IBM, and Prolog moved to Europe (for development) and I've lost track of it. I mention these because DAT (this was in MVS/SP3 days), after MASTER got control, was ALWAYS on, whether V=R or not. So the use of user keys provided certain protection without getting into system keys. So products that are using the user keys (10-15) are protected across address spaces just as key8 is now. This may not be what Dave had in mind, but this type of thing needs to be considered for CSA usage.
