RE: Can't keep QEJBADMIN running

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess I have to accept these rather arbitrary limits, Frances.  It's no
skin off my nose (other than the fact I have to wait a few days).  I just
faxed in my order for seven different group PTFs and the latest cume.  If
IBM follow history, that means I will shortly get eight FedEx packages, each
with it's own CD.  If IBM thinks that's more cost-effective than writing an
Internet delivery system for larger PTFs then that's their call.

Just trying to understand.

Joe
