Then there was Nestle Frankfurt, who wanted both CPUs to have the same serial number.
BS3000 was pulled because Fujitsu (deservedly) lost a court case. One of the settlement conditions was the withdrawal of BS3000, another was $600 million, if memory serves. At the time, I not only expected it but felt it long overdue. Served 'em right. AIM was an affront to IBM. I keep seeing this Hercules [EMAIL PROTECTED] turning up, and [EMAIL PROTECTED] it is. For the nthousandth time - it ain't EVER going to happen - there are so many things against it there's no time to list them. It wasn't going to happen before the IBM/PSI thing (for a number of reasons, one being the attitude of the owners) and IBM actually said so at the time: "IBM has taken a business decision not to license its software on this platform." IBM chooses with whom it sleeps. And after IBM/PSI - Jeez! I wish we could save the bandwidth. -- 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
