Actually, it's simpler than that. IBM used to promise it would not cost more for the same functionality in each subsequent release. Mind you, if you exploit new technology all bets are off. (0.95)**N becomes infeasible after awhile, since this tends towards zero. (Also, I cannot find it on the website[s], but I remember the promise from many presentations in the 1990's) - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
