Looks to me like a complete waste of time. In the first place, the dates on the sample document are 1995/6. Not only is that a decade ago, but it's also pre-Year2000.
In the second, there are scads of press releases dated around 2003 mentioning NCR/SCO UNIX. In the third, I've seen MANY projects in which the underlying technology has been swapped out with a requirement that the end user see no detectable change in documents, etc. If this document had a turnaround function and was being OCRed somewhere, it would greatly simplify the changever if compatibiity were retained. After all, the punch card we've only recently retired stemmed from the 1880s - could you tell if a given card was punched by a Hollerith operator on a manual from or by a 3525? -- Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.co.uk +44 7833 654 800 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
