Hello,

sorry, I have not much time at the moment to check these things out, but I'm
very interested to see how this turns out.

Some questions:

- do you really think that there was a modification to the VM 370/R6 sixpack
that causes this problem? I hoped (until now) that this is only a problem in the
way that some of the C libraries handle the CMS command line SVC etc.

- I only recall the CMS logic regarding command line tokenizing from very old
times. Is there a problem with the logic that CMS deliveres and that the C
runtime wants? The C runtime, too, wants the arguments of the command line to be
tokenized (blank separated) and distributed to the argv array, where argv[n] is
the n-th argument, argc is the number of arguments (maybe plus 1) and argv[0] is
the program name.

Normal C programs (ANSI C) have no standard method to read the command line "as
a whole", so there is no need to provide such a function in the CMS environment.

Kind regards

Bernd
