I haven't seen too much mention yet of migration issues -- Attachmate macros, Excel spreadsheets which are using Attachmate's APIs, etc. I'm quite familiar with converting one of the 50 U.S. states from Attachmate (statewide) to Host On-Demand (statewide), and you do need some due diligence around that issue, starting with making sure the default keyboard layout is identical to ease users' transition. (Yes, they successfully converted.) In the specific case of Host On-Demand there are some migration tools available. And the deployment was easy. There are even some Linux desktop users now, and those work fine, too. Yes, they do serve HOD directly from z/OS. And they do have a few users (SAS, I think) that require GDDM. Please note that I'm biased. :-) - - - - - Timothy F.
