there used to a joke that os2 was the os360/mft system people had moved to boca and were trying to re-invent mft ... first as rps on series/1 and then os2 on ibm/pc. note that we ran into lots of trouble when we first came up with 3-tier architecture and were out pitching it to customer execs. this was back in the days of saa ... which could be construed as attempting to put the client/server genii back into the bottle. somewhat related recent postings http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2005u.html#50 Channel Distances http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2005u.html#53 OSI model and an interview misc. posts about 3-tier architecture, saa, middleware, etc http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#3tier misc. posts about terminal emulation paradigm http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subnetwork.html#emulation -- Anne & Lynn Wheeler | http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/
