RE: 5.1 upgrade

What would IBM say if someone was to burn a copy of their 4.5 distribution
CDs and ask only for re-imbursement.  I have three copies of 4.5 in house
and will be going from 4.4 directly to 5.1.  I ordered the 4.5 just in case
before IBM closed it out.  Heck the boxes from IBM are not even open.  I
would be willing to ship one of these to someone trying to upgrade to 5.x
from less than 4.4 as long as it does not put myself or CrossCheck into
legal term oil.

And how would they do that Al (V4R3 to V4R5) since it IS no longer available
? :-) No offense intended. I've been wondering if (and discussing this with
others) this last week - is IBM going to do something about this ? You would
THINK if folks are willing to make the move like that, something could be
worked out to cut a release of V4R5 ? Of course on the other side, you are
probably on a system that has all kinds of hardware that isn't supported at
V5Rx...
