Actually, the pricing scheme for z/VM 5.x has been changed and simplified, imho, from what it was for z/VM 4.x and earlier. I've written a short article on how you can easily price your z/VM (including optional features as well) license. Drop me a note off list if you'd (or anybody, for that matter) would like a copy. -- Dave Jones V/Soft Software, Inc. Houston 281.578.7544
