And I wonder how many still have the S/36 environment because they can't remember if EVERYTHING was converted or if there might still be some obscure program out there... I've been known to dip into the old FINANCE library to calc a mortgage now and then...

That's another reason why IBM, rushed to put the Sys/36 out in the market. The S/36 was so popular, that even to-day, on the current release of OS400, the Sys 36 Environment is still supported. I'm very curious to know just how many companies are still using the S36 Environment.
