I hope it isn't via an extra cost add-on like SNA NJE was. The extra cost to go NJE may have been the straw that broke the camel's back in pushing the conversion from JES3 to JES2 by Philips Lighting in the 1980's. I couldn't justify the additional dollars out the door compared to JES2 for a single image. It gave me no joy to see the other part of the add-on - Bulk Data Transfer, dead-ended in later years. >] > >Please reference APAR OA16527.
