No, VM:Account does not need a write link to the object directory. VM:Secure
and VM:Director are the only VM:Manager products that need a write link to the
object directory. MAINT 123 will show up as OS-formatted when you access it
under CMS. That’s normal.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the
most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than omnipotent
moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity
may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will
torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own
conscience."

I'm quite sure it will want an MW link to MAINT 123 since it will need to
update the directory...

I am attempting to install CA:Account and I have been unable to get it to start
properly (it abends) because it isn't reading the object directory. I have
defined a read-only link to MAINT's 123 disk (540RES) where the user directory
is located, but it appears as OS formatted and not CMS to the VMACCT machine.
I've tried linking instead to DirMaint's 123 link and got the same result. I'm
not sure I understand why it's appearing that way and how to present it to
VMACCT so it can read the user directory.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
