Haven't been using it for long have you...  Try having to install CA/95
without any "support line contracts" ...when it urps up all over the place
due to PROBLEMS IN THE %$@#@'ing BASE CODE, you can't call in for the fix
to the DEFECTIVE software until you BUY BUY BUY BUY the damn support
contract...which then they will tell you that they ooppss and you need to
download a tonne of ptf's..and create a file in the windows directory that
they forgot to create cuz they thought when you download from a PC to the
400, you would REALLY WANT the data to still be ASCII...and not translate
to EBCDIC...   You EVER try reading ASCII data into a pgm on a 400???
Really interesting results...!

Yeah, it too me 3 days and lotsa calls to figure this one out...and I'm
still pissed!
