Re: swap QTEMPs

[leif@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

You have prompted me to think about a simple change
to my RPLQTMP program:

When you install another library as QTEMP, RPLQTMP will
send you a message giving the pointer values for both
the original QTEMP and the Process Control Space.
At any time later on, you can then use RPLQTMP to
repair the PCS by giving the program the pointer
values.
