Dave,

You can always run OV on a V4R5 system, that has DDM versions of your
database files from your current V5R2 version.  As long as you don't add
newly supported field types, this would work forever.  If you add newly
supported field types, create LF's (sharing access paths) without those
fields, and use those for DDM.  Management may become difficult.

I'm not defending IBM for withdrawing support, be the product sucked, and
M$ is the best example of monopoly in the world, with M$  Office becoming a
world standard.  (You can be sure that IBM didn't buy Lotus for Freelance
Graphics.)  IBM claimed that it was too expensive to support.  I still use
Text Management/38 on occasion!

Al:

I respect your expertise but saying

>Right now, there are too many customers on V4R5, because they need OV/400.
>(IBM's version of the 1988 edition of starting to take heroin.)
>
is a bit too much for us who require OV/400.  Frankly, I think IBM is
short sighted in missing out all the new sales to these "too many
customers on V4R5".  Their panacea of installing domino and running
mochsoft word is not acceptable to most of us who prefer green screen
applications.  I am not very enthused on Evergreen/400 green screen
equivalent either.  OV to Word converter such as
http://www.aia-itp.com/link.php?href=/migration/migration.html also dont
help me.

Why cant IBM fix OV/400?  I am sure it is expensive but they should look
at all the pent up sales of V5 sales from exisitng V4 customers.

Just my 2 cents.
