It's no surprise. The so-called "registry" is still somewhat informal and not that well known. Hardly anyone at IBM even knows of its existence. The vast majority of ISV products aren't registered there. This is *especially* true of products that were written so long ago.


I'm not sure what you mean by "informal." Prefixes must be registered for IBM products before they are distributed. There's even a corporate standard. Someone trying to release a product without following it will learn all about it when the product is submitted to SDF for distribution.

Is the prefix list available for us, poor peasants buying both IBM and ISV software ?
