Tony,

Have a go with adding a link to the QNTC path you need to be static.  I
created a "Servers" directory in root, and then ADDLNK
OBJ('/qntc/..../directory') NEWLNK('/servers/mylinkeddirectory').  This link
remains defined, though the server must be re-verified as available when
accessed the first time after an IPL.  Still, it works well, and requires no
additional setup.

> DSPSAVF sees one entry:  QNTC *DSTMF.  The entry type *DSTMF
> does not give the option to see the subdirectories (using opt 5

> This is an error in the QNTC save/restore code.  The QNTC

> This change will be made in the next release.  Workaround for
