Perhaps more to "release" a component code than to request one because a prankster coule wreak more mischief by freeing a code in use than by gratuitously having one assigned.

Some decades ago, I sat in on a meeting in which one ISV who had an assigned code offered to share part of his name space with another who hadn't one. ISV #2 should have been able simply to request his own. Perhaps neither ISV understood the process, or the process hadn't been well defined at that early date, or there may have been a business relationship or lack of one that precluded ISV #2's obtaining one. I believe IBM was then a customer of ISV #1 but not of ISV #2. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
