That is interesting. But I am wondering about so-called Oracle Site Licenses. From what I have been told, we have such a thing. Supposedly, this allows us to have basically unlimited numbers of Oracle systems running on any number of "cores" on any platform. That's how we got Oracle on z/OS. It was "free" with out current license. But I've been misinformed before. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
