By the way, the VM/XA SP support mods in 1.5o have not been really tested.
Although we do run VM/XA at (or rather "below") LEPICS, we have presently
something like 5 users with access to the XA side of our system and there's no
way I can test anything seriously there. Besides, the XA system is
considerably slow because of its tiny real storage and unique paging area, not
to mention the fact that 90% of the CPU is dedicated to HPO, all of which
makes it very painful to test anything there. What little I could do would
take a lot of time and would not be very convincing. If any of you happens to
have an XA system running LISTSERV with "real" CMS users, I would be very
interested in sending you the 1.5o code for beta testing (and by the way, if
you do migrate to XA in the future, don't forget to send me a PEERS NAMES
update when it's done and you're over the "God knows if we won't have to back
up to HPO" phase). At present the only two real XA systems I know of are VTVM1
(to which I already sent a copy of the code) and UKACRL (where no beta-testing
is ever possible since the "official" code and the two following versions
thereof are usually released before the beta-test authorization has been
digested by the Rutherford administration :-) ).
