	On Wednesday, September 9, 1992, New England Users of VM will hold
its Fall meeting [there was no Summer meeting] at Lombardo's in Randolph,
Mass.  The meeting fee is $25 at the door [too late for preregistration].
Lombardo's will put on their usual superb luncheon.

	The topics for this meeting are:

	o  VM Strategic Directions - Part II

		Gerry Hackett, a third-level VM manager in IBM Endicott,
		will continue her fascinating discussion on future
		directions that VM might take.  (Gerry's previous talk
		on VM Strategic Directions in February 1992 was
		considered to be the best and most interesting IBM
		presentation given in the last five years.)

		Gerry will also discuss what's new in VM/ESA 1.2.

	o  Automated Operations in VM

		Chris Bolinger, the VM Product Manager at System Center,
		will discuss how various System Center products can assist
		customers in automating their data center activities.
		Many detailed examples will illustrate Chris's presentation.

	o  XPATH

		David Richmond, President of Enhanced Software Products,
		will provide a technical overview of his company's XPATH
		product.  This product allow direct disk-to-disk file
		transfer between VM and MVS/VSE, [sic] with no spooling
		or other prerequisites.  The latest release adds the
		ability for VM/CMS applications written in REXX or other
		high-level languages to access datasets (e.g. VSAM or DL/1)
		in the MVS or VSE system, directly or through CICS, with
		full read and write capabilities.

	o  VM/ESA: A New VM User's Installation Experiences

		Dan Moshief, one of our own NEUVMers, will discuss what
		VM did to him when he sysgened VM/ESA for the first time.
		Anyone else with VM/ESA installation experiences is
		cordially invited to put in your 2 cents worth at this
		session.
