Re: V4R4 -----> V5R1

[Pete Massiello <pmassiello@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In each case did you run the conversion estimate jobs for Spool files, 
User Profiles, and QADB* files, and how close were they to your total 
 time to convert.  There is a lot to estimate for going to V5R1, you 
have the regular replace LIC, OS/400, & LPPs plus the above conversions.
