This is not accurate.? To quote
: "In order to be
compatible with the largest number of Hercules/MVS users ...".? Clearly
Jay is targeting a wide audience.

Because he is targeting a wide audience including older (out of date)
systems, much of the content on the pack is redundant for a TK3UPD
system.? This is to be expected and is harmless.? But I didn't even
mention fact in that my original note. (That's not a bug, it's a feature!)

Also, I did not comment on what he got right (I would have been here all
night), for example making SYSC.LINKLIB a STEPLIB rather than adding it
to the system link list.

In an earlier thread discussing my need to apply service, it was pointed
out that TK3UPD was the basis for MVS380 and TK4-; those questionable
legs have traveled, to say the least.

In what way?

What I reported were not customization issues, but rather a failure to
follow best? practices.? (The order of PROCLIB entries can be argued ...
but not the system failing to start!)

My original tone, which I am sticking by, is that on any MVS system
(including Jay's) the original approaches are not best practices and
they should be corrected.

For example, if one generating new entries for VATLST, one should verify
they are, in fact, new.? And "S JES2OLD" just won't work.

I lost a moderate amount of work because of having to restore, and I
prefer no one else does.
