BRMS Discontinued ???

[bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Todd,

There have been announcemnents concerning the withdrawal from
marketing for 5763-BR1 (BRMS V3R2) effective Feb 25, 2000.  This is
consistent with the withdrawal from marketing for V3R2 OS/400 and many
other V3R2 products (see letter 998-017 dated Feb 10 1999).

Could this be what the sales representative was refering to?
