Nice, thank you.

I think I _may_ have found a project I can do as a hobby that isn't too
far over my head.  A tool that snoops memory from other address spaces.

My other ideas -- a full screen Rexx debugger and a virtual tape -- were
way too difficult.

Lindy,
With one minor (but important) exceptions, subpools 0-127 are user
private,
so the usage is defined by, and up to the programs running in the
address
space.  These can be used by programs to coordinate the freeing of the
subpool.  The one exception that I mentioned is that TSO puts all of its
user-related control blocks in subpool 78, so I would STRONGLY advise
against using that subpool, as a subpool free of all the storage in
SP=78
causes some un-expected problems with TSO.  Additionally, as subpools
are
aligned on page boundaries, you can guarantee that storage in subpool 1
will
not reside on the same page as subpool 2.  To look at what is in
subpools,
the best method is the VSMLIST macro, or you can run the subpool chains
from
the LDA looking at the SPQE and data chained from it.
