I doubt that the CBTTape personnel have the resources to moderate all the programs hosted by CBTTape.org; the responsibility must devolve to individual owners. ESR has some comments on this in "The Cathedral and the Bazaar". I've contributed to various community development efforts using diff/patch (Lynx, XTerm). Diff and Patch are available on z/OS; A moderator is required to reconcile and merge patches and to host the resulting version. And one (Charlotte) using CMS UPDATE, again with a moderator reconciling patches CMS UPDATE is not available under z/OS. IEBUPDTE is a poor cousin of CMS UPDATE, but perhaps workable. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
