I can now offer the following new features/changes for beta-testing: 1. New LSVXMAIL, as described some weeks ago + some changes to let the loop rejection code work when the list address is converted from, eg X@NDSUVM1 to [log in to unmask] 2. New LSVDIST2 and LSVBITFD: improved selection of equidistant servers, see LSTSRV-M description. 3. New automatic online/offline spool threshold, see description on LSTSRV-M. 4. New LSVIUCV with modified event priority. 5. The improved LSVDEL I had described some weeks ago. 6. Modifications to the LMON package to improve checkpoint and startup speed. Believe it or not, it is about 20 times faster to do a loop of GLOBALV SET + a write operation to LASTING GLOBALV (I use LSVFWR1 which is a bit faster than EXECIO, but the results would still stand with good'ole dumb EXECIO) than a loop of GLOBALV SETP, with the same result of course. The reason is that GLOBALV kindly closes the file after each operation, and will of course not let you tell it that you plan to do another SETP right away and it can leave the file opened. And, of course, there is no way to retrieve or change a whole stem in a single call - this would unwisely save CPU time that could be usefully burned and might justify an upgrade to a bigger CPU, and possibly also the installation of SNA :-) If you would like to test any of these, please drop me a note and tell me the NUMBERS (1 to 6) of the packages you would like to receive. Please indicate whether you would also like to receive the corresponding source files or not. Thanks, Eric
