FWIW, I pretty much agree with you. I'm not terribly comfortable with the "Let it fail" philosophy, though; I would feel obligated to try to save the company/agency some pain if I could do it simply by pointing out some potential red flags.
To address the OP, I would think the risks of not doing the 1.9 migration are nearly non-existent. The risks of not having support, though, are a bit higher. We are small shop, but there have been times when having access to IBMLink (when it worked) saved us from much pain. Jon <snip> I hate to rain on anyone's parade, but all the posts notwithstanding, the problem here isn't failure, but the fear that it might actually succeed. If the project is as doomed to failure as many have been saying, then so what! Let it fail. It might be a difficult time and a humbling experience for some, but in the end the original system will be vindicated. However, I suspect that the real concern is that it might actually work. Maybe not as well ... maybe without all the bells and whistles, but in the end if it does tha job, then management will have been vindicated in the decision. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
