Us too.  Also, the ISPF portion is used by DFSMS.

We still have several applications that use ISPDF/PDF. There is a project to 
convert and enhance the most critical of them. After that, we will try to 
ferret out any other uses and "correct" them. There is no new development that 
will use ISPF/PDF.

Subject: ISPF and ISPF/PDF

Speaking of software that hasn't changed much in the last 10 years....

We still run ISPF and ISPF/PDF.  The last fixes I put on were Y2K related back 
in 1997 or 1998 IIRC.  Is anyone else still using these products?  Since they 
are so stable and no new work is being done on them, should I still be paying 
as much to "license" them?

What scares me is that the price will jump significantly if we decide to move 
to a new z-box.  And we will still be doing the exact same thing with them that 
we do today.  None of the new cycles/MIPS will have anything to do with the 
products.

Is there any validity to my thoughts or should I just accept that the software 
pricing is what it is and deal with it?

I would appreciate any comments.  Thanks.
