Hi all,

I've completed the external specs for the new DEVINFO CI function and
have available for your comments an early draft of the HELP text. Please
see:

http://jazz.external.hp.com/private/devinfoHelp.txt

Also we have similar specs for volinfo and spoolinfo, see:

http://jazz.external.hp.com/private/volinfoHelp.txt

http://jazz.external.hp.com/private/spoolinfoHelp.txt


We would very much appreciate your review of these external specs.  Are
we providing enough information to meet your needs?  Also, as important,
are we providing too much info, too many aliases, overlapping data,
unnecessary formatted results (where the integer form will suffice),
etc.

For instance, does spoolinfo really need to accept "Onnn" and "#Onnn" as
valid inputs for the target spoolfile?  Does devinfo need to distinguish
between "all printers" vs. "serial printers" vs. "ds printers" -- ditto
for terminals?  Do we need to distinguish between MB and sectors for all
of the disk size items returned by volinfo?  Etc...

If we are returning information or formats which you don't see value in
please let me know. If I can reduce the complexity of these functions
and still meet customer needs then we all win. 


Thanks,
 Jeff Vance, vCSY
