Re: CA/400 & Windows 98

["Jack Mullins" <jmullins@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

I know that this doesn't answer your question; however, you touched on
something that has bothered me for a long time.  When we went to Windows98,
all machines running CA began having problems shutting down properly and
some even had problems booting up!  This has been a recurring problem for us
for some time now.  Every few months, either we will get a CA PTF which
prohibits us from shutting our PC's down or after upgrading to a newer
version of Windows or CA, the machines start having problems.  Either way,
if we uninstall CA, the problems go away and the machines run fine.  Put CA
back on and down go the machines again.  In the past, we could usually
download a PTF and fix the problem, but, frankly, it began to get under our
skins.  So, recently we began removing CA from all PCs in our company,
permanently.  For the cost of one CA license, we were able to purchase a
site license of Mochasoft's Mocha for Windows 5250 telnet client and do away
with the headache called Client Access!  Mocha doesn't have all the features
that CA has, but, it has enough to allow users of all levels to work
comfortably and it's not bloated like CA.  We still have our CA licenses for
cases where we might need them, but, we are using CA less and less as time
goes by.

My 2 cents worth,
