You can calculate the odds of getting hit by space debris on 5th Avenue, but a 
nonzero probability would not impel you to live in a bunker. Friday preview: an 
episode of Northern Exposure centered on the funeral of a fellow who was 
actually that unlucky. Impossible to find a conventional coffin that could hide 
all the antennae sticking out in all directions. Morbidly hilarious. 

Omegamon (Candle days) provide a dynamic linklist update facility. Offered with 
all the caveats of the current IBM function. Not sure I ever used it, but I 
remember ragging on IBM to provide a similar facility many years before they 
did.

I think it's especially rare that a linklist update would really need JOBS(*) 
anyway. Dr. Murphy does like to be taunted.

I don't think that's more important.  What's more important is that the experts 
at IBM (the people that write the code and have the manuals updated) have 
stated that it is dangerous.  I don't care if 1000 people on IBM-MAIN say
they have never had a problem.   Murphy doesn't really like me.  :-) 

Besides that, I doubt "DELAY" would have been developed / added for no reason 
at all because someone felt it would be a good idea just 
in case to help resolve a theoretical problem.   

Regards,

Mark
