I gave up on trusting IBM "black boxes" for S/W maintenance when I found instructions in a program directory, back in the mid-80's, that included, after linking the MAINT or CMS 19E disk in write mode, the next line that said "FORMAT 19E G". Even tho I was working for IBM at the time, I never quite was willing to place blind trust in S/W installs after that. Note that this was not, fortunately, contained within some long installation exec, but was printed in the product directory. If I remember correctly, it was not an Endicott product, so Chuckie would not have done it.
