It makes complete sense that REFR does. IIRC, back in the very old days, there was the "SVC transient" area (2K or 4K) into which an type 3 SVC or one of the parts of a type 4 SVC was dynamically loaded. These modules were "refreshable" which I think meant "MVS, you are allowed to refetch this module from disk and just continue running it because I guarantee that the code & data areas in it are not ever going to change". > > sas > > -- Once a government places vague notions of public safety and security above the preservation of freedom, a general loss of liberty is sure to follow.
