That was my attitude last time. No, I am not the least worried about competitors. One, it's a big world with room for everyone; two, the two products I work on have no head-to-head competition; and three, my impression is that an awful lot of Z commercial products are written in assembler, not C.
I am just worried about my own time and sanity. In any event, even if I were to spend a bunch of my life arguing my case with IBM, I *need* a timely solution. You can't push a piece of string. I have lost patience with being more generous to IBM's customers than IBM is. They seem not to want to fix the "problem" (however that might be defined) so much as make their numbers by closing the ticket. IMHO. At least the level one folks; much less so once you get through to someone who knows anything.

Of course, if they're likely to be your competitors you may be disinclined to be generous. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
