>Imagine if your favourite program was only available as an IPLable
>card deck??!!

First of all, you don't forget all the favourite programs was developed
from their card decks.

DSF is available only in card deck because it supports a <stand-alone> and
the following operating system versions:
OS/VS1
OS/VS2 MVS
MVS/XA
DOS/VSE AF3
S/370

As you see, there is not CMS support but S/370 mode is ok. It may be a program
-except DSF can do the same thing- in non-IBM products but there is no CMS
version of DSF.

You are right for your part. IPL'ing a card image copy of a program
is a pain but would not a CMS copy module of DSF be much larger than
its IPL'able copy. IPL'able card deck contains over 4400 records.
I suggest you to send your comments to your IBM representative and
branch office with your bad compliments(??!!).
