Co-design of ChangeMan ZMF

Some existing features in vanilla ChangeMan ZMF (many of them used at many ChangeMan ZMF implementations today) were originally designed by some of the core developers behind dr.chgman.com. Here is a summary of some of them (incomplete list ...):

• Audit à-la-carte (CMNEX02*), we even invented the name ...
• CMNAUDRC, to overrule the ultimate result of a package audit (so that in the end you might even write your own audit).
• Rework promotion skeletons by transforming duplicate coding to appropriate imbedded skeletons (to simplify customizations).
• The functionality to automatically add scratch request for ILOD components (with occasionally the "no related ILODs" ISPF msg).
• XML service Package/Audit/Service became available only in ChangeMan ZMF 5.5, per our enhancement request for it in ChangeMan ZMF 5.3 (in which this service was missing ...).
• Back in the early 90s we already solved the issue of long name support in ChangeMan ZMF (release 4.1.0 ...), via ChangeMan ZMF's selectable option "ESF" (it would take about 2 more decades for ChangeMan ZMF 7.1 to also support it ...).
• Read about AbitMORE relationship to ChangeMan ZMF's ERO option ...
• The first version of XMLSERV (the prototyping tool for XML services) seemed to be inspired (and not just Abit ...) by AbitMORE's RPCs@Work dialog (AbitMORE's prototyping tool for RPC services, the predecessor of XML services) ...
