Perhaps you should ask him for an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)
so he can provide all the proprietary particulars to/for you?
With WYLBUR, I did what you are suggesting. I had the customer(s)
do an assembly of a module that generated offsets to certain
items that WYLBUR needed for running an SRB in the JES2 address
space. The OCO code may have been "patched" via a PTF or two due
to changes in the JES2 code. In this way, WYLBUR wouldn't fall
over, or take out JES.
But, what the OP is doing, is a different animal (from where I sit).
There is a certain customer (whether or not he has the same
problem with the same customer) that asked a specific vendor, for
a specific product, if they would run the C/C++ compiler with a
particular ARCHLEVEL and allow them to test their product (they
were having an UGLY tuning issue).
I suggested to the management of that customer that this could be
a difficult thing for an ISV to do, depending on the number of
customers they have, and what hardware they are all running on.
So what the OP is doing, I am somewhat sympathetic with, having
had to deal with some similar issues as a customer, and as a vendor.
