Please let us know where we can find it when you are ready. Sounds pretty good to me.. Another step towards a tapeless society.

This is way cool, many thanks for doing the work and sharing it. I think it's going to make life a bit easier for some folks. Some suggestions: 1) There seems to be an undocumented option in at least the FTPGET stage -- -DVDEOF. Of course, this might have meaning only in the case of doing a DVD transfer. 2) split the help text for the FTPGET and FTPPUT stages into separate help files. 3) convert the HELP file from simple text to the standard CMS HELPFILE format. If you'd like, I can help you with that. As far as SPXTAPE being upgraded to support files instead of being tape only, we've got a handy little utility here that will backup and restore all types of DCSS/NSS/UR/etc spool files to/from CMS files, with the only exceptions being DUMP and TRACE files. For UR spool files (RDR,PRT,PUN) it collects all such files from a given user into one CMS file, making moving and restoring them easier. It can also process individual rdr/prt/pun files from the collection as well. If there is any interest in such a thing, let me know, and I'll document it a bit better and put it up on one the the popular VM download web sites. Again, thanks a lot, Jiri.
