surely you've received a PTF or two in your time, that require you to _only_
apply them *temp, haven't you?

granted, not for the usual case, but again, since it doesn't really buy a
lot on these systems and leaves the door open to fall back on the A side,
why bother.

as for dating myself, of course, they added that parameter, but as an
aspiring geezer (Charlie's my mentor.... <vbg>) I still find myself leaving
the iplsrc off the command....

fingers sometimes quicker than brain.... ;-)
