That *is* what it was designed for, AFAIK. >it's puzzling that GIMZIP >supports objects SMP/E doesn't process. From the SMP/E Reference: <quote> 11.7 GIMZIP packaging service routine The GIMZIP service routine creates portable packages of software and associated materials. Typically the packages will contain SYSMODs, RELFILE data sets, HOLDDATA, and associated materials such as documentation, samples, and text files. These GIMZIP packages may be transported through a network, processed by the GIMUNZIP service routine, and then processed by the SMP/E RECEIVE command. </quote> Do you remember RIMLIBs? Those can be packaged in an archive, but are not part of the product. How about books, either in .pdf or .boo format? If you choose, you can even package CSI that contains your product pre-installed. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
