This is a relatively old story, and at some point or other, IBM slipped us
V5R2 PTFs that would allow OV to run.  Previously, RSTLICPGM would not
restore it.  This allowed a lot of customers to go to V5R2 and use newer
hardware.

You know, IBM went to a lot of pain in the late eighties to push OV/400,
and when they were moderately successful.  I had one customers with 600
pages of help text in OV.  We moved them from OV to TextManagement/38!
Some of the software vendors that were tied to OV, developed proprietary
packages to move them to M$Word.  I know that HTE has one.

Could you expand on that a little bit about PTF's and
allowing OV/400 to go to V5R2 ????

Is this an old story ???

I belive this is the first I have seen this mentioned...
