Re: [**SPAM**] RE: Help with z/VM 5.3 Evaluation Edition

Get rid of / delete / deactivate / shoot Dirmaint.

Dirmaint holds a copy of the User Direct on one of it's Minidisks
(Described in the manual).

Copy the User Direct to Maint's 191 (A) disk and use DIRECTXA.

As I mentioned before, edit Maint's CF1 minidisk and deactivate DIRMAINT.



I know of no self-respecting z/VM Systems Programmer who uses Dirmaint.



Bonne chance!

=> Sadly you can't "forget" it on the eval. From what I remember DIRMAINT

=> As I said you need to get DIRMAINT to build you a source directory first..
