Re: IBM overhauls iSeries for the long haul

More than you can imagine. Since there was far more S/36
installed than S/38(50 to 1, maybe much higher), you gotta
imagine many of those folks never bothered to convert to
"native".

I have several customers who never bothered and never asked
to be converted once they saw that the 400 could handle
their software "as is".

I don't believe "anybody" including IBM, has any idea how
much S/36 code still runs. Remember the S/36 was wildly
popular in other countries other than the USA.

Of course IBM also didn't think many people were using
OV/400.

That's another reason why IBM, rushed to put the Sys/36 out in the market.
The S/36 was so popular, that even to-day, on the current release of OS400,
the Sys 36 Environment is still supported.

I'm very curious to know just how many companies are still using the
S36 Environment.
