CORRECTION !!!!!
Following is not true:
: The NM version supports Third Party indexing that CM does not.
Both CM and NM support TPI (sorry for the bad info, I should have checked).
The NM version does have a larger literal table and other differences.
 
: As the CM version is as close as possible to the MPE V C.xx version,
: the capabilities must remain different between CM and NM.
 
: For maximum performance, one should run QUERYNM.PUB.SYS.  For maximum
: compatibility with older systems, run QUERY.PUB.SYS.
: I do not think that renaming or using symbolic links is a good idea as
: such things will be lost on the next update (as per the original item).
 
: Perhaps a UDC to direct the QUERY command to use QUERYNM "MIGHT" be OK
: for your system but that is up to you and yours.
