Re: Another Time Zone Question (Sorta)

Hello Mark,
Thank you so very much for your reply!? I will remove SixPack 1.3 in favor of the more recent VM/CE release.
I greatly appreciate knowing this information.
I don't know if someone here has the power, but it would be nice for the SixPack website to denote VM/CE supercedes it.
Thank you again.

Concerning Maint Memo B, unfortunately, the SixPack 1.3 version Maint ID doesn't have a 535 drive.??
Sixpack 1.3 preceded all the VM/370 CE releases. MAINT 535, a play on SES, by the way, was added to VM/370 CE V1R1... I forget which exact release. You are missing that minidisk on 1.3, so you won't see MAINT MEMO. On VM/370 CE you won't see SYSPROG MEMO, as it would confuse everyone, as it 'competes' with MAINT MEMO.
Should someone develop either CP or CMS code, how does the person make it available for either SixPack or VM/CE?
As an example, I posted ASSIST for VM/370 in the files section of this discussion group. Bob Bolch took that and added it to VM/370 CE V1R1.2.
An aside, that code should run on 1.3, but if it doesn';t, please let me know, and I will see what I can do to make it so.
Which one is better: SixPack 1.3 or VM/CE 1.2?
VM/370 CE V1... comes after the Sixpack 1.3 and contains almost everything the Sixpack has, with the exception of SYSPROG MEMO and some other files that were removed, because they were broken, or incomplete. ASSIST comes to mind.
