Re: V4R4 -----> V5R1

[barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

There are a number that are fixed in a future release.

I keep getting these QGYSERVER messages that jobs completed normally,
because Ops Nav is submitting jobs, even when no one's using Ops Nav.  Bad
message substitution variable, which I can';t re-create, so IBM doesn't
acknowledge them as a bug.  (Ah, but QHST doesn't lie.)  Extra main storage
dumps, and those LPAR APIs!

And then there's the (mis-) Information Center, which nobody bothered to
proof read.  It's encouraging to see that IBM has hired the handicapped,
and then gotten writers who have English as a second language.  The article
in "Inside V5R1" this week said (tongue in cheekily) that IBM stopped using
commas in the release, and to look forward to the withdrawal of periods in
V6R1!

V5R1 is an awesome release, but it's no where near as stable as prior RISC
releases.
