Keith, As you can tell, it's more art than science. My tendency matches Jay's; I create a NOLOG user called LCLTOOLS and place all my tools on its 191 disk. I then create a nickname called TOOLS and use VMLINK TOOLS to access that disk. To create a nickname file, see the NAMES command (with VMLINK option) help screens.

My z/vm knowledge is mainly limited to what I have picked up from the z/linux Redbooks and the "Getting Started" guide. I now want to install some tools from the VM downloads web pages. Is there a standard or commonly used convention for where such tools should be stored? I found some sample instructions for installing pipeddr where the code was installed on the MAINT 191 for instance. I would not expect that to be a suitable location. Also, does IBM provide a list of various MAINT minidisks and their functions ?
