Chuck,

I had a really nice talk with David this morning on this subject.  He's 
going to research this statue further and get back with us on details on 
it.  I think what the statute is saying is that casinos had to do certain 
secure functions and as things had it, the software doing those functions 
was only available on iSeries.   I've just never heard of any regulatory 
statute MANDATING a specific o/s or hardware or vendor, by statute, for a 
particular function.  That would be a statutory dictated monopoly which is 
incredibly rare and open to a lot of legal issues.

We also had a nice  talk about SQL server interfaces into iSeries DB2 
systems and I've got some research to do there as well.
