Alan, Wasn't SAF intended as a migration aid for VIF users? Since VIF is long gone, I would think that SAF could be canned as well. Might be easier than having to continually warn people away from it.

You are getting sleeeeepier and sleeeepier. I am now going to count backwards from 5. When you hear the snap of my fingers, you will wake up feeling refreshed, totally forgetting you ever heard of SAF. Instead, you will be more interested in learning how to automate your systems to meet your own needs, or give consideration to purchasing a Linux guest management system. Ready? 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. <snap> Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
