} Why do you say that?  The z/VM Restricted Source feature, described in Ch. 
} 2 of the z/VM Program Directory, contains the source for VARY, ENABLE, 
} DISABLE, XAUTOLOG, FORCE, and LOGON. 

I don't know how far back Ivan goes.  I myself go back almost as far as
Sir Lynn and look back fondly on the days I would discover something
wrong, call it in to IBM and find no fix available yet,  sit down with
the source (which was right there), find the bug, fix it and reassemble,
test and pass the fix to IBM as a suggestion, and have the exact fix
come back a PUT or two later.

Dream on.....
