Hi Folks,
Happy to announce that CBT Tape Version 484 has been cut, and all
the stuff from the Updates page of www.cbttape.org was moved to the CBT
page. I think I've updated the www.cbttape.org website with all the 484
stuff as opposed to the 483 stuff. I'm always open to people pointing
out if I forgot to do something. Appreciate your constructive
suggestions and so forth.
One thing that probably not too many people know about. There is a
3390-2 pack which was backed up by both FDR and DFDSS (and tersed) which
is available to be downloaded at the www.cbttape.org site. Besides
containing all the CBT Tape files for Version 484, the IPL text of that
pack contains ZZSA from Jan Jaeger, which you can IPL and use to look at
or fix, anything on your system without IPL-ing MVS. ZZSA is also on
the CBT Tape, in two files, File 437 and File 538.
We make updates to the CBT Tape versions maybe 2 or 3 times a year
nowadays. The reason we do so few of them, is that the newest files are
on the Updates page of the website, which you should always check,
before you look at the CBT page of the website. Since the Updates page
has the newest stuff and it is easily accessible, we don't have to be
always rolling the newest stuff into a new CBT Tape version very often,
as Arnie used to do, when the only way you could get any of the newest
stuff was on a tape. When Arnie had to put all of it on the tape, he
was extremely dedicated in constantly making new versions, perhaps
averaging 15 versions a year. Now we can do two or three new versions,
and accomplish the same thing. Hooray for technology.
All the best of everything to all of you. Use everything in good
health and happiness.
Sincerely, Sam
