I'm glad I didn't post this - I'm a bit bored with having my throat jumped down.
First of all, some systems are "soft". Flex-ES and Hercules could be trivially modded to store such values. Secondly, even if '2097' were the designator of some future IBM system, it doesn't follow that this is a real one - it might easily be a current or earlier generation patched in microcode to see what the software does. Life would become _exceedingly_ interesting if either PSI or T3 (or both) applied for an injunction to prevent IBM from changing its product lineup until the outstanding legal issues are resolved. -- 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
