Two completely unrelated (and probably ignorant) queries:
 1) Does anyone have an estimate for the elapsed time typically
    needed for a process at software priority 31 to actually get
    into execution after a wait of some sort is completed. I *think*
    this translates into asking what is the longest period of processing
    at IPL>1 which would be encountered during normal operations. I
    guess this covers all the drivers and their forks and any IPL$SYNCH
    stuff. If someone out there can answer (or maybe tell me the right
    question to ask) I would be most grateful.

 2) How do people make FORTRAN (Yes - I need to use FORTRAN) include
    files from the output of the 'message' utility. Thanks to Joe's
    VERB utility I can see that there are two undocumented qualifiers
    /SDL and /MDL which seem to produce bliss(?) and macro include
    files but nothing for fortran. Do I really have to resort to TPU?
