Gilles,
Good call on checking for the various STORXL## files. In the interest of
even more
good housekeeping, it's a darn good idea to visit sysgen and get a listing
of the designated system programs which are on the SLT tape. At past
positions, we made
sure that our copies were on the SLT along with files like EDITOR.PUB.SYS so
job streams could be created after a reload.
