I have a strange memory of a previous thread about ISPF PACKing (probably pre 
1995).

I seem to recall someone from IBM (in the ISPF area) posting a query about the 
use of the ISPF PACK option.  I believe they were hoping to remove the function.
I've searched the archives but can't seem to find anything.
My recollection of the thread was that IBM wanted to remove the capability of 
turning ON packing but any member that was already packed would remain packed 
(unless the user requested PACK OFF).  As PACK is still an option that can be 
enabled someone must have made a strong enough argument to keep the function 
(although I don't see why).

Does anyone else recall that discussion or was I dreaming? :D
If you do recall it, why was it not crippled?

Thanks,
Dan D.
