Re: Cumes and Hipers and Groups, oh my!

Joe,

When you order a group or PTF set, the download is always named by the 
first one they (IBM) build.  The different sizes indicate the breaks 
between the groups.  Freaked me out the first time, too, 'cause I wasn't 
sure everything I ordered got included.  There should be a list that 
indicates the contents of the download.
