I don't follow the logic. The ease or difficulty of doing something is not measured when something isn't done. For example, it's probably easy for Apple to introduce iPhones in additional colors besides black and white, but Apple has not done so. It's probably very hard for Apple to introduce a fuel cell powered iPhone, and Apple has not done so. It really is easy for me to get some exercise today, but I haven't done it yet. All we can logically conclude was that it was "easy enough" for IBM to add that support to DOS when it did. It might indeed have been more difficult with MVS, but more information is required to know. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples Consulting Enterprise IT Architect (Based in Singapore) E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
