Dare,

I am just trying to be helpful to you. You should not suggest that I do cheat.

IBM has deliberately priced the software for their old systems at a prohibitive 
level. So a pgmr who wants a low cost training system of their own cannot turn 
to IBM for what they need. The end result: The pgmr does not acquire a training 
system and pgmrs on our system have less knowledge than they would otherwise.

By a pgmr getting their hands on a v5r1 install cd and installing on one of 
these 150's ( and I dont know if this is possible ) they are actually, IMO, 
helping ibm and our platform.

Hope this helps,

Steve Richter
