The information that you gave _IMPLIED_ "Gotcha's".  Your phrase "look out 
for" says that, if you do not, something with "get you", hence "Gotcha".  I 
know that we occasionally experience language difficulties on BPCS-L, and 
I'll assume that this is one.

I've not had _any_ problems with "library parameters during object 
installation and data conversion" since V5.  Job descriptions, beyond the 
logging level, have not _ever_ been a problem for me.  I don't know what you 
mean by "change NEWI program authority to adopt so that all users can get 
in", but as one who has repeatedly busted SSA for lesser security offenses 
than what I _THINK_ you're suggesting here, I don't think I like where this 
is headed.  I have no idea what you mean by "TCP/IP port restrictions and 
availability", as there should be none if you are starting your system 
properly for TCP/IP use.  "BPCS message files missing messages" has only 
bitten me once, and that was when _I_ failed to move the new versions after 
installing a BMR.  The data conversion reports have always been worthless for 
anything but error reporting, so I'm not sure what you mean by "physical file 
size!" here.

Well, the instructions _could_ use a little work, but they're not nearly as 
bad as they were in ye olde V5 days.  _I'm_ certainly not biased, although 
SSA sometimes thinks I am (against them) ;)!  This is _my_ point of view, and 
I would certainly like some of those details you mentioned...
