Looking for feedback on Host-Based Minimerge (HBMM)

[Rob Brooks]

Host-Based Minimerge (HBMM) has been available for some time (for V8.2 in
field test, and V7.3-2 by either a special HBMM kit or the latest UPDATE kit).

Any feedback?

Please note that there are actually two new features added in this kit;
HBMM itself, and the priority scheme to better-manage which systems will
actually perform full copies, or merges or any type. The priority stuff can be
used without involving HBMM.

While we don't plan to make major changes to HBMM for V8.3, if there is some
significant aspects that we've missed, we'd like to try to address that.

I will be putting out another call for $GETDVI suggestions in a few months;
please hold any suggestions you have until then.

V8.2 has about 25 new $GETDVI item codes; you'll need to wait a bit to see
what they are (they were added well after the deadline had passed for inclusion
in the V8.2 field test.)
