Dave's idea for PIPE FTPGET looks interesting, DVDPRIME EXEC shows that it
uses "INSTPIPE MODULE", which contains the "FTPGET" stage. But that seems
sort of risky to use as an undocumented production tool.
Undocumented? "Docs, docs...we don't need no stinkin docs!" Where's your
sense of adventure, Mike? ;-)
What I've heard is that the FTPGET stage was written by the folks in
Endicott, specifically to support the installation of z/VM 5.2. If that
is correct, then Endicott already owns the code and might be open to a
request to provide document ion and support for it. Or they might
consider just placing it on the VM download page as an example of how to
write a PIPE stage in assembler......
Just my thoughts.
