I would agree, even though we usually run an ESP it will be over a year before we can get 1.9 into production. John, any chance of an SPE????

Not many shops will be on 1.9 for a year and a fair number won't be on 1.9 for up to 2 years. That's a long time to make customers wait for relief. -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------------- This e-mail may contain confidential or privileged information.
