Funny how they believe that moving to another operating system and entire
application will be easier than going to an OS/400 based version.

Also, do they still use dos based versions of word processors and whining
about MS no longer supporting the dos versions or did they bite the bullet,
learn some version of Windows and now using a better word processor?  Or,
let me guess, when MS no longer supported their dos based word processors
they decided to go to an ancient operating system, like Unix, instead of
upgrading to a Windows type version?

It's moves like this that are sending a lot of die hard IBM shops to
other platforms.There's a reluctance by many companies, especially in
this  very volitile market, to spend a greater budget dollar in this
area.
Moves like this will really harm IBM in the long run.
It takes time and money just to migrate to 36E!
My thinking is, that there are a great many /400 shops running M36 , (I
for one support 6), than IBM or his mailing list is willing to
acknowledge.
