Re: V4.4 to V4.5 Upgrade

["Robin Sapiro" <robin.sapiro@xxxxxxxx>]

Evan,

To the best of my knowledge, none of the old OS/2 (may it rest in peace)
based FSIOP/IPCS applications will run under V4R5 or later. Don't forget
that OV/400 goes away at 4.5 or 5.1 as well as the ability to use external
fax cards for FS/400.

If anyone can point to documentation that says otherwise for any of the
above, I would love to see it as we use all 4 of the above.
