Doing the DIRECTXA command changes between the pair of directories within
the DRCT area. Would the second system notice the change via the Diag? I can
see where doing a second DIRECTXA could cause serious problems. Are you
saying that if you do it to some other random pack, that would be enough to
cause the second system to re-read the real dierctory?
Actually, with DirMaint and its dirmsat partner, keeping the two directories
isn't really a problem, and I don't have to log into the other system to
take care of the directory. Programmers are essentially lazy people, so I
don't want to recreate work that I can have handed to me....
