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 :-) ).
