There is a z/OS 1.5 system here dedicated to supporting faculty and students around the world in this program. I don't know specifically about this institution, but we've had schools in Eastern Europe before. We have a staff member dedicated to this project. If you find a school or faculty member who wants to join, I can get them in contact with the correct people. It doesn't cost them anything. There are some additional functions and features we have in the pipeline if there is demand. /ahw >> >> -- >> Radoslaw Skorupka >> Lodz, Poland >> >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >> For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, >> send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO >> Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html >> > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, >send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO >Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
