I agree. This is not a good sign. I have read most of the articles about mainframe technology in recent years with great interest. I see now that even older issues are not available any more. I checked the z9 issue (Volume 51, Number 1/2, 2007) and it is not available. And the web site says this: <quote> The IBM journals have changed and are currently only available online for a fee. Institutions can subscribe for just $995.00/yr. This represents a discount of 33% from the list price of $1,499/yr. </quote> It seems that this is intended for libraries and similar institutions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
