David, FWIW I didn't read Tommy's question the way you did, although now that I read it again I'm confused about what exactly Tommy is looking for. :-) (Tommy: If you can reply with some additional details, that'd be great.) I was thinking Tivoli Allocation Optimizer for z/OS, BrightStor CA-Allocate, BMC MAINVIEW SRM, etc., and perhaps other vendor products (IDP's products maybe?) By way of general response, Tommy can contact all the vendors to get suggestions. Mainstar products, including CR+, are represented both by Mainstar directly and through IBM. I think most vendors probably can provide demonstrations, perhaps even providing remote access to a mainframe via the Internet for a test spin. Some vendors may also be able/willing to offer trials for products where a demonstration or remote trial use is not sufficient. Most people probably already know the IBM person to call or e-mail. But if you're absolutely stuck trying to find the right IBM person, here's a good list of contacts for mainframe tools/utilities: http://www.ibm.com/software/solutions/softwaremigration/contacts.html The "Contact Us" link (or equivalent) on CA, BMC, IDP, Mainstar, IBM, and other vendor Web sites usually works really well to summon the reps, too. :-) - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
