Re: Basic Maintenance for a noob.

Thanks for the helpful reply Scott.

I would like to run this as much like a real production machine as I can,
for experience sake, I found something that said to

$Sprinter1
$Sprinter2

Will I have to do that at each ipl?


And when I did that a stream of pent up printing jobs went to the printers
(And then to host system files I hope)

Is MF/1 used in production? would my "boss" expect to see it?

Thanks again
Ron the -slightly- less noobish
