IBM used to offer a handy utility called "zap"

Speaking as somebody who used to make a living running IMASPZAP,
I'll point out two things:

1) It didn't do what most non-IBM mainframe jocks think it does based on the
name(*).

2) If Rob knew enough about Windows to get an IMASPZAP-like program to
fix his problem, he would (a) not be posting asking for help and (b) be filthy
stinking rich. ;)

(*) http://www.jaymoseley.com/hercules/imaspzap.htm - is a good
readable-by-mortals description.  Though the I M A is a backronym at best - MVS
names *everything* with the first 3 letters for the section of the system
involved IMA just happens to be System Service Aids.
