Re: catch-22: M36; V4R4 not available

I believe the IBM Key Center will give you the keys (although I can't say 
for sure).  It's just that the software distribution centers no longer 
stock/manufacture/distribute the V4R4 CD's.  I would advise checking with 
IBM to see if they will give you the V4R4 keys.
