I second that. VM/IS R4 - module replacement only. No service available, a
manager was supposed to be able to install it. And I've never seen it on
a historical timeline of VM.

nowhere near as bad as SP1 or, for that matter, the earlier releases of
VM. I remember some of the nightmares of the VM/370 Release 2 days.
