AMEN Bob. Although usermods did have their up side, especially the
catalog mod. It gave a relatively new Systems Programmer a LOT of
experience coding assembler and reading standalone dumps.......before
IPCS......ouch
Open code does *NOT* mean "open for update". Of course if you want, you
can modify it, but then it is *your* code, and you are expected to
support it. Ergo, the rules, what is allowed for customer to modify, and
what is locked could remain the same as in OCO.
BTW: I'm not open code enthusiast. I understand problems of IP rights
when the code is disclosed (wasn't it a beginning of MSP system ?).
However the more documentation/description/functional diagrams/PoPs/etc
the more it helps users. One of methods is to provide sources.
