Hi David,

In response to your message, I tried downloading and installing that 
code.  (I actually tried it right after the article was written, perhaps 
a year ago, but that was before it got packaged this way.)

When I restored PATTERNB.SAVF, I found that the sample.conf file was set 
to *PUBLIC *EXCLUDE authority, but QDFTOWN had full authority to it. 
(Actually it should be the user 'TUOHYP' who has full authority, but 
since I don't have that user on my system, it fell back to QDFTOWN)

Anyway, to fix the problem I used an *ALLOBJ account to grant *RWX 
authority to the file.

You can workaround the problem by NOT restoring the save file (too late, 
for that, I guess) and downloading the 3 files in the pattern directory 
individually, since they're just simple PC-style files you can copy to 
the IFS easily... that way you don't have to worry about the authorities 
in the save file.)
