It was a great way to kick-off the mainframe's 40th anniversary celebrations! I was disappointed when IBM started systematically scrubbing away every trace of the Mainframe Charter from its web sites. (Fortunately, they left this FAQ that explains what it was all about: http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/includes/download/mainframe_charter_faq.p df). I hope they plan to do another all new one next year to help celebrate the mainframe's 50th anniversary! -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 831 Parkview Drive North El Segundo, CA 90245 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
