do we have to pay $4,000 a seat to code COBOL and CL programs? Sorry to
be a little off-topic, but the thread has been raised...

Kelly, see my remark to Mike. Basically, the old tiered 5722WDS has been split apart into components, and each is seat-based. There is still some issue as to what is a seat (named user or concurrent user?), and in general the prices are comparable unless you're one of those shops with 12 developers on a P05.

For a single person on a P05, the price actually goes down especially if you stop using the "heritage" compilers such as OPM RPG and move entirely to ILE.
