My time left may be short because my company is discontinuing use of z/OS "hard" by no later than Dec 2015. And their plan will work. Because the part of the business which is serviced by the z/OS system is being terminated. All current clients have been informed that their contracts are non-renewable. The new platform of choice is "cloud based". And that seems to say that the Windows/Linux/AIX/Solaris people's time is limited too. I know that the company has long stated that "we want to be out of the IT business". Of course, they'll still need somebody local for desktop and IP support issues. But they may outsource that to a local support company like Geeks-R-Us. I'm sure that they will _love_ that.

What I was trying to do by using github was to reduce the number of copies of things "flying around on the Internet" and thus to decrease bandwidth on the backbone networks. And to not "shove" large, possibly unwanted, files to everybody here. > > Cheers, > > Jantje. > > -- There is nothing more pleasant than traveling and meeting new people!
