Not the lawyers' fault. Blame IBM management. They don't want to bother. Probably due to costs to them. I would love to get a z/OS license with the "no support" option. One time change. No access to PTFs. No access to IBMLink. In any case, if anybody could come up with a different system which could be 100% object code compatible at the application level (the instructions that you and I use), I'd bet that the z would die in 6 months. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
