One major idea behind this project is to apply as few PTFs as possible,

Hi Radoslaw,
in your note you mentioned the idea to apply all (installable) PTFs.
This idea leads me to the reason for opening this topic. I'm involved in
an IBM project for preventive maintenance packages named CPMz. One major

In my humble opinion every piece of software installed should serviced,
so I sustain the idea of aplying all PTFs.
Disclaimers (exceptions):
- One can have some software installed, but not used.
- I'm not talking about PTFs in error, etc.

Just go get the first volume of the ABCs of Systems Programming. It's
chapter 6 of the book. And the book does not function as a contact

I did not yet fill out the registration for just that reason. Thanks
