The CMCO dispatch is mailed to a nominated person at each supported site, and contains SPRs and answers for security related problems. As an aside, the regular Software Dispatch for the Tops-10 people is orders of magnitude better than the ones we get for VMS; they provide "Symptom-Diagnosis-Cure" responses for all problems, and actually say "Thank You" when customers provide solutions (even if they aren't used!). I don't think I have ever seen a "Fixed in some future major release of Tops-10" in one... But, I digress... How about a special edition of the VAX/VMS Systems Dispatch which contained only security-related problems? gkn
