Free for All Session Recap - October 25, 1996

The FREE-FOR-ALL session usually generates a wide variety of topics and discussion, and this meeting's was no exception. Among the discussion was:

• How to deal with incompatibilities between the OpenEdition VM/ESA and C/370 (both use some of the same file identifiers but neither library level works well with all other products).
• How to test code for year 2000 issues (a product from MiraSoft was mentioned).
• How to deal with VM public relations in your company. It was suggested to focus on the cost & functionality issues of a particular project THEN summarize by announcing that the most effective solution is on VM.
• How to merge 2 filepools with the same name. Renaming one of the pools and NOT using the IBM-supplied default names of VMSYSx was part of the feedback.

If you have other burning VM questions, come to our next meeting and submit them on your free-for-all form!
