CMSACCess/VSE Supports IBM's VSE/ESA 2.1

Dallas, Texas, April 21, 1995 -- Today Arney Computer Systems announces the availability of its CMSACCess/VSE software product for use with IBM's latest version of VSE/ESA. CMSACCess/VSE now operates with VSE/ESA version 2.1, which is now available from IBM.

VSE/ESA 2.1 offers features which make it an excellent operating system platform choice for running with the VM/ESA operating system, and now CMSACCess/VSE is available for this new version of VSE to support the direct access to data stored in the VM/CMS file system. The standard VSE access methods do not support the reading of data which resides on VM minidisks that are managed by the CMS file system. The CMSACCess software provides this long needed support to computer installations which store data under CMS and need access to the data from VSE.

When running under VSE/ESA 2.1, CMSACCess operates in the 31-bit addressing mode and utilizes storage above 16 megabytes to maximize the availability of user storage below the line.

Users of VSE/ESA 2.1 may have CMSACCess place the files of a minidisk into a Data Space. Thereafter, when a file residing on the disk is read, its data is taken from the Data Space instead of requiring a DASD I/O operation. This can provide CPU speed access to often used data.
