Take what they say with a grain of salt....IBM doesn't like this, but if
you say you have 5 users and have the RPG compiler, they will charge you
for 5 programmers doing CONCURRENT compiles.

You can order 5 users, 1 user of RPG, 2 CONCURRENT users of Query, etc.

Remember you can have 50 terminals, but what you are charged for are the
number of users active at any given point in time for any given product.
