This issue isn't confined to IE/Mozilla/xxx. An increased level of 
functionality tied to penetration also is applicable to OS/400, particularly 
for developers.

When I put a bunch of stuff that I've had for years up on my web site ( 
http://zap.to/tl400 ) I tried to make it as version/release independent as I 
could. I even wanted it to be LPP independent in the sense that I didn't want 
to require any compilers beyond what's supplied with OS/400. (There are one or 
two exceptions and I think I've figured how to get around those.)

We've collected info at work from customers and prospects to get a picture of 
what we need to target our products at. But I'm personally interested in what 
the next batch of examples that I dump onto my site should target. I've done a 
lot in the past few years and almost none has been posted anywhere. So...

I created a Yahoo groups poll...

Select the versions of OS/400 you use and lets see what this community consists 
of.
