First, zFS is but one kind of file system that can contain UNIX files. Before it we had HFS file systems, and we still (I think) have TFS file systems. They all contain UNIX files, or possibly z/OS UNIX files if you must. The potential confusion is that someone who doesn't already understand the difference between file and data set might easily wonder whether "zFS file" is supposed to mean the MVS data set that contains the zFS file system (which, in turn, contains the UNIX files). -- Walt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
