At one point in the 1990s, IBM PartnerWorld started charging a $5K/year fee. We ponied up. One of the benefits was that you could now get the PL/X (or maybe PL/AS by then) compiler, so I requested and got it.
A few months later they reversed the decision about the $5K and I got a call explaining that we were one of the few members who had taken advantage of getting the PL/X compiler, and that Endicott had had to pay Raleigh a license fee for it. That meant that I got to go to my boss with a good news/bad news story: that we were getting MOST of our money back. Still makes me laugh. I never did get around to installing the compiler! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
