Actually "more slower engines" applies here as well. Cheers, Martin

No, not really, or at least don't blame IBM. The primary and probably only reason sub-capacity general purpose engines exist is to provide increased licensing granularity for full capacity licensed software. Something very close to 100% of IBM mainframe software is available for licensing in sub-capacity quantities below/independent of server capacities. You can thus draw your own conclusions about why sub-capacity processor options exist. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples VCT Architect Executive (Based in Singapore) E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
