Re: "TigerTools Says It Can Remove OS/400 Governors"

["Brad Stone" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just what I heard, Carl.  I am not that familiar with MI so
I couldn't tell you if that's true or not.  But the previous
post from IBM seems to confirm that this product does simply
"trick" the system to thinking an interactive job is really
a batch job.

Also, you should ask TigerTools if they will refund your
money.  Id say no, they won't.  They probably have a little
disclaimer of their own.  But I bet they will find another
workaround.
