RE: "TigerTools Says It Can Remove OS/400 Governors"

David,

A patched program is one that was created by the trusted translator and
then altered in a way that violates the definition of the Machine Interface
(MI). The alteration would be made using a system service tool or by using
some other tool when the program is not on an AS/400 or iSeries system.
Because patched programs do not obey MI, they can cause all sorts of
problems, intended and unintended, that will affect correct operation of a
system. We have a program validation mechanism that can protect against
some forms of program alterations. We also advise customers to retranslate
any program that they do not trust, as part of restoring it onto a system.
