Re: IBM would really help me if they would ...

[Dennis D Pearson <ddp@xxxxxxxxx>]

The only tools I currently use are the AS/400 Service Director 
and News/400 at http://www.news400.com/ptfwatch/ptf1099.htm .  

I would think a web page that lists the PTFs by release 
(updated frequently) with e-mail capabilities for specific issues 
would be better.  When you visit the site, you would see each PTF 
issued and it is related information.  I like the idea of being 
able to review up to date PTF information quickly.  The Service 
Director is not a very expedient tool to work with for that cause.
