Whether or not it is legal to change a product solely to prevent a specific competitor I don't know. Microsoft used to have a saying (urban legend probably): DOS isn't done until Lotus won't run. :-) > 2. What does it *actually* do? Any nasty under-the-covers stuff, or is it > really simple, anyone with half a brain could do it sort of things? FAST400 only changes a bit in task descriptions for YOUR jobs. Falls into the 'half a brains" category. No IBM objects are changed. > 3. What will IBM say if you have a problem and they find you have TTools > installed? Changing the bit is safe and does not in any way interfere with the reliability of the system > 4. Is there a legal aspect to this that IBM could use against customers?

FAST400 does not decrease reliability and actually increases availability :-) > Pros/cons to TTools @ an executive level would be great. >
