I've sent a copy of my VIOLATE EXEC to Larry.  In addition to making
one logged on user secondary user for another logged on user under VM/XA
2.1 it also does things like changes MGS, WNG settings, and the class
of a virtual machine.  Most of the ideas came from an assembler program
which I think was originally written by Alex Brodski.  My version is in
REXX which may be a little easier for some people to maintain and
modify.

As I said, this exec is for VM/XA 2.1.  We're in the process up migrating
from XA to ESA 1.1.  Another programmer that is working on the ESA
migration tells me that VIOLATE EXEC works just fine on ESA but if your
interested in a copy of this exec to run under ESA (or XA 2.1 for that
matter) I'd test it second level before you start letting it alter
real storage on your first level systems; always a good idea.

If anyone wants a copy just drop me a note.
