That's why IBM promised to not change the geometry again. I've lived through 3330-3350-3380-3390(compat)-3390 conversions. They were expensive and time consuming, and error-prone. Complaining about the archaic architecture is NOT a solution! I DO NOT want to see a conversion to FBA, or anything else, until well after we see conversion of all allocations to an SMS-based device independent scheme. - 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
