Rick, Thank you for your reaction. Well the install task will be less easy than I hoped for but time/head permitting I'll make the effort and see where I end up.
About me, I am an (very) old IBM Systems Programmer/System Engineer and have earned my wings in S/360 systems support. That does not necessarily make supporting current code any easier but some old tricks should have remained. Especially I have done a lot of debugging. greeting, Klaas. Rainer, Thanks for confirming that the PPC code is for AIX.
