Alexei,
The issue of CFINT comes up again and again. If "it has a much more
important purpose in the system" wouldn't it be reasonable to provide
full disclosure as to WHAT it does, WHY it does it, and HOW it does it.
This would dispell the rumors and half-truths that are floating around 
and show us all what a well-thought-out system the AS/400 is.
