Sir Alan, I accept the correction - although I do wonder if the word 'pack' is even proper nowadays ;-) I think the list has discussed terms like FP-1. etc. I agree regions should always start with cylinder 1. I'm not sure I would tell DIRMAINT about any of my 0-END volumes in EXTENT CONTROL, as everything is label based there. At least, I haven't come across a good reason to.
