Re: SXMACLIB

Hello!
Wrong! The end came when Paul stated the incredibly obvious. The
merely obvious, liberal quotes from our misguided copyright laws was
also done. Besides, it should be completely obvious to us all that
both MVS3.8J and even VM'/370rel6 are in fact freely available
although technically copyrighted by IBM operating systems. All we are
doing is going over everything so many times the archivist is getting
a headache.

Now should anyone of you want to do this again, the only thing left to
do is start a new thread. In this one we can only argue the points of
what to include in a library, and what not to include in one. And that
includes system distributed ones..
