No, IBM calls it the Slow400 PTF. -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-admin@midrange.com [mailto:midrange-l-admin@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Walden H. Leverich Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 12:55 PM To: 'midrange-l@midrange.com' Subject: RE: protect your system from altered or "patched" MI programs... We knew this had to come sooner or later. I'm glad IBM had the intelligence (guts?) to clearly state the point of this PTF. I wonder if they refer to this PTF internally as the Fast400 PTF? <G> -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516)627-3800 x11 WaldenL@TechSoftInc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com -----Original Message----- From: Bernd Schaefers [mailto:bschaefers@gmx.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 12:47 PM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: protect your system from altered or "patched" MI programs...
