As with many of us, I have distributed DCL running in a cluster.

I'd rather not have to create local code for the cluster coordination 
tasks, or create my own DCL interface into DLM. Code which I have 
already created. As likely have others.

Batch and server queues are insufficient for the coordination needs 
absent queue configuration efforts ranging somewhere between heroic and 
problematic, or without coding and running my own server symbiont.

Using turd files for coordination gets gnarly, too.

Other DCL omissions include ssh/sftp/scp support, TLS, LDAP, etc. All 
of which and much more have been discussed previously.
