It depends. I worked in two shops where 'everybody' used SAS. In that case, one mainframe licence was cheaper than mega-multiple PC licences, and the data was all shared. If just your performance/capacity analysts, and a few others use it the PC solution makes sense. But, if you get up to a couple 100 or more, as always, the mainframe economy of scale makes more sense. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
