==================
jfb: I like the two formats, but really would like to have both sort
orders available.  Sometimes I want to find out who is using a particular
file, or to see how a particular file is used.  Other times, I want to
see what a particular user is doing, and I'd want all of the files shown
together.  Is it significantly more work to have both sort orders, so I
guess that would mean 4 format numbers?

======================
jfb: Perhaps the Onnnn display of the spoolid should allow room
for larger numbers (per a separate thread discussing this possibility)
and the possible impact on procedures which parse this data: Onnnnn.

==========================
jfb:
 
- How about fixing the position of whatever comes after "LDEV",
  "REM", or "SPID", etc., so that the name can be more easily parsed
  out?
- Can this show whether the file is being R(ead) or W(rite)?
- Could the record number be shown?
- Without either the I/O mode or record number or other distinguishing
  data, showing a file multiple times only says that it is accessed
  by the same user multiple times.  That could also be shown by adding
  (cnt) after the userid or elsewhere on the one display line.

===============================
jfb:
- Could a summation of the I/O modes used be shown?
  (e.g., "R", "W", "RW")
- If the number of accesses per user is useful (per above; I'm not
  requesting this), could the count be shown after the userid or
  elsewhere on the line?
