assembled etc.. a real bear. Yes long live SFS!

In VM/SP 5 there was a program product called FSF (File Sharing Facility).  We 
didn't buy it as I already had a bunch of EXECs from VM/SP 3 which would link 
the minidisk in R/O mode for accessing.  When you Saved or Filed the member, it 
would try to get the disk in R/W mode, do the save, then get the disk in R/O 
mode and reaccess the disk.

As soon as we got SP 6, all my execs went right out the window.  Long live SFS!

Must have been a special customer then: SFS started with VM/SP R6 for
the normal mortals.
HPO 6 was only available as a special offering in Belgium (but we got
it for my customer).
