Iz I wrong? Well, that depends on who you ask at SSA, and what time, and the phase of the moon, and how they're feeling at the time, etc. All I know for sure is that it still uses the ADK repository on the /400 side. I've heard that, even for the UNIX and NT releases, they port the code from ODW back to an AS/400 and generate the code with ADK. I've also heard that they don't. Perhaps one of the myriad SSA list members could clarify? > [snip] <<snip>> > > OS/2 was technically very good, but poorly marketed, sort of like the MCA bus > architecture that IBM came out with in the early-mid 80's.

Well, we could argue _THAT_ one ad infinitum. Personally, I'd like to see an OS geared toward the _USER_ that doesn't crash five times a day. The latter would certainly make the job of supporting the IS infrastructure a heck of a lot easier... Regards! Dean Asmussen Enterprise Systems Consulting, Inc.
