RE: PTF Image Catalogue Order

[Tommy.Holden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

i cheated and wrote a LOADIMGCLG command that reads the IFS directory 
containing the .bin/.iso files and adds them to the image catalog...


Thanks,

I keep mine as short as possible, f1.bin etc, less chance of typos :-)

Jerry,

What I've always done is rename the images to  SF#####.01, etc. - using
2 digits for the sequence before I add them to the catalog.  I also put
the groups in a different image catalog as I install them separately.

It's just easier to keep track of them that way for me.
