A lot less than before (360) POP was moved into CMS script file. The original reason was the ease of editing/dealing with the text. a motivation was that the POP was subset of the architecture "red book" (from it being distributed in a "red" 3-ring binder). As CMS script file, it allowed pertinent information to be kept together (for easy edit & management), but CMS command line option controlled whether the POP subset was printed or the full architecture manual was printed. -- 40+yrs virtualization experience (since Jan68), online at home since Mar70 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
