Steve,

Did you know that you can get ptfs over the internet?
If you or someone else in your shop uses IBMLink, go to the
SRD function and request 'INET' delivery mode.  Read the readme
about internet delivery and how to UNTERSE the file once it is on
your mainframe.

I usually have a new fixlevel installed into test libraries within 2 hours
of finding out it is available thanks to the inet delivery feature.
