Why do you have to be so hostile? I did not see any mention of OS compatibility. That is precisely why I mentioned it. I raised additional issues beyond what you raised. WTF indeed.

Where do you see "OS compatibility"? The issues that I raised were all architecture and instruction set. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

That's not the only thing. A program that relies on getting certain program interrupts might fail. Then there's the ASCII bit, although I would be very surprised if anybody actually used it. There are optional instructions that IBM carried over. There's probably more that I haven't thought of. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
