Bill/Cinda:

I contacted them yesterday about the FTP site for OS/390 patches and was
told that the password had changed since someone had previously posted
it on this list.  The site is service2.boulder.ibm.com

Contact support for the userid and new password.  Works fine after that.

Cinda,

There isn't a ptf when the 4th digit is >0.  to get 4.2.3.{2,3,4} you need to
download it from the IBM FTP site.  The mvs server code is in xmit format.
You have to get the files to mvs in binary format and then 'receive' them.

Contact IBM for the site and the location.  The place where I always used to get
mvs patches isn't working.  another site (ftp.software.ibm.com) only has the
readme files for mvs, but it has all the files for Solaris!
