IBM seems quite firm that OV/400 will go away after the release after V4R4.

Some customers are moving to Domino (IBM' suggested solution) although 
OV/400 doesn't provide 100% of OV, particularly in a 5250 environment.

I have two customers with several thousand pages of  "help text" in OV, and 
we are migrating then to a tool that will be supported in the future, Text 
Management/38.

Removing OV/400 is not a stupid move, but the person responsible for 
initiating it in the first place either needs (or already had) a lobotomy.

There are parts of OV/400 that are very good (i.e.: calendaring), but IBM 
doesn't seem to give a shit.  So what else is new?
