Have they solved the problem with the GS/OS close all command?
About three years ago I looked at this problem.  Even had a multi-ANIX
up and running.  Alas, the GS/OS close call (with sub-code zero, as I
recall) closed all open files.  If one program executed this command, it
closed *all* open files, including those opened by other applications.
I gave up at the time because I was not willing to write a complex front-end
for GS/OS to capture this call.  I would hope your people have solved this
problem.  I have a lot of respect for them if they have.  I have some
reservations
if they have not.
