Ugh. I hate hearing this. While I agree that the CPYTOIMPF problem was particularly painful, how many other cases can you point to where IBM has broken backwards compatibility? Other than the oft-lamented library list issue, I can't think of one (okay, WebSphere 4.0 - but we should have seen that coming a mile away). Yes, the CPYTOIMPF was a fiasco. But to be "gun-shy" because of it seems a little bit of an over-reaction. However, I could be way off base here: I haven't had to deal with the problem, so maybe it's worse than I thought. But isn't there a PTF and/or a workaround for the issue? At the same time, are you still running Windows 95? Because if you aren't, then you've gone through a whole slew of backwards incompatibilities, one after the other, year after year, just keeping your PCs up to date. I'm, not saying that's a good thing; it's not. But I'm trying to keep a sense of perspective here.
