I haven't been involved in this since retirement, but can't help
wondering why this near universal interest in USS. When VTAM
first appeared in my installations, we used a network solicitor.
It goes through a normal BIND process, so a query was available,
it allowed me to ignore mixed case in input, which USSTAB
doesn't support (unless very permutation is defined). With
suitable coding, it permits single signon for multiple
applications, brief news messages on the logon screen, etc. And
a very nice starter version was available on the CBT tape.
