I have found that the use of z/OS facilities in configuring z/TPF can
now in fact be avoided, although other, less satisfactory external
ones must be used instead.

The original context of Dr Johnson's celebrated observation---He was
comparing a woman preaching to a dog walking on its hind legs---is
sexist, but that observation itself,

It is not done well, but one is surprised to find it done at all,

is appropriate here.   The HLASM is one of the glories of the
mainframe; and its avoidance is, at best, perverse.
