Re: Reason not to go to V6R1 -- MIDRANGE-L

When we did CISC-to-RISC, IBM was in our publically faces about the
requirements for two years before. (I knew sometime before.) With V6R1,
they screwed up and kept it a state secret. Shame on IBM, cause this is
what happens.

Yet another reason not to implement "freeware" into your production
environment. People complain about having to pay support fees, but here
is a situation where it will really pay off. Vendors everywhere are
scrambling now to get ready for the requirements of V6 and all those
support payments are going to pay off with a seamless transfer of
software
when the time comes. WRKDBF may be a great tool, but without any
support
where does that leave you?

I came across a big reason not to go to V6R1 today.

V6R1 is the final and complete killer of WRKDBF.

I know that Bill stopped his work on WRKDBF in 2005 for valid reasons
but it has still been a fantastic tool for the small one man (or
fractional) shop. If anyone has any influence with Bill and can
convince
him to at least recompile WRKDBF so it will convert to V6R1 (no
support,
no updates, no other bothering him) I know that a bunch of people
would
buy him every drink he can down at the next Common. Might even take up
a
collection and send him a six pack of each premium beer of his
interest.
