*** ADMIN: Revised list guidelines -- BPCS-L

This is the BPCS list server.  It is devoted to the discussion of topics
related to System Software Associates' (SSA's) Business Planning and Control
System (BPCS).  We can generally concede that topics involving AS/Set, ODW,
and BPCS "bolt-ons" are acceptable.  Discussion of other software products
as they relate to interfacing with BPCS is fine.  Discussion of hardware
platforms as they relate to BPCS is fine as well, but do not attempt to
promote one platform over another.  Discussion of platform strengths and
weaknesses is allowed.

Opinions are both welcome and encouraged, but longer threads should be
held "off line".  Same for personal experiences.  All versions and all
"flavors" of BPCS are welcome, as well as all hardware configurations.
Please contact the list moderator at david@xxxxxxxxxxxx if you have any
questions regarding appropriate content.

Questions regarding programming techniques as related to AS/Set or ODW are
allowed; however, native programming not specifically related to BPCS would
be better served on the midrange list server, MIDRANGE-L, or an appropriate
UNIX forum.  Connectivity and AS/400 related questions, unless specific to
BPCS or CIMPath, would be better served by MIDRANGE-L as well.

Flames are ABSOLUTELY prohibited.  We are all adults here, and can express
our discontent without childish remonstrations.  Any person caught issuing a
flame will be immediately terminated from the list, or be forced to maintain
one of the "500" programs using screen arrays instead of subfiles and at
least twelve "dead" subroutines -- you decide which is worse.
