old email about high level POK executive giving presentation about vm370 would no longer be available on high-end machines. HONE was the internal vm370-based online system that provided for world-wide sales&marketing support; most of the applications written in APL. The executive told them that they could migrate from vm370 to mvs if they would just rewrite all the apl applications in assembler (overhead reduction in apl->assembler would offset the enormous increase in overhead from vm370->mvs) http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007d.html#email790216 followup was that the executive had apparently been using the wrong flipcharts for the presentation http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007d.html#email790220 misc. past posts mentioning HONE http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#hone -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
