Great article, and nice picture, too. <rant> I happen to disagree with the author's use of the word legacy in some places. If I understand correctly, legacy means outdated. Hardware, such as an IBM 360 or a PDP-9 can be legacy. A file format, such as ISAM which is no longer supported, I would think of as legacy. You could have legacy data on punch cards or paper tape. <SNIP> I guess the problem devolves to legacy managers, legacy sales, legacy marketing, and legacy lawyers. But what is the new thing to replace these legacy situations? <\pot stiring> Regards, Steve Thompson ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
