Used to be UCC1 and UCC7 etc. supplied by Uccel (spelling?) before takeover by CA. Your point about numbering still holds good - but it wasn't CA's scheme.

Just think what that saved in marketing costs (to secure rights to a name), not to mention tsuris in internal naming meetings! Of course, if they'd kept with it, we'd now be arguing over whether CA-237 or CA-984 was the better choice for a particular problem. Maybe the folks who came up with that scheme are now at IBM, naming z boxes? (Yes, yes, I *know* the numbers in "z196" and "z114" mean something, I'm just sayin'...) -- ...phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and intended solely for the addressee and may also be privileged or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
