PS:
IMHO IBM mainframe operating systems are completely
braindead...
why does the user has to know anything about cylinders and drive
types?
Because that's the way your grandfather did it, and if it was good
enough for him, it's good enough for you! ;->
I stopped being a programmer on IBM systems in 1984, so why do I
still have the numbers 7294, 13030, and 19069 embedded in my brain?
What do they represent? (I do know.)
