I wouldn't try it until V6R1 is available Larry. I'll leave it to
Barbara to provide a definitive answer - but I believe that the
problem is that you _can't_ "protect critical code" - because some of
the most critical pieces are in the RPG runtime which is not thread
safe until V6R1. Therefore without an intimate understanding of
which bits of run-time are used when, you have no way of protecting it.
