Roger -

What is it about V6R1?
Does it require re-encapsulation again, like the CISC to RISC
conversion?
Where is the documentation for this?

Regards,

Subject: Reason not to go to V6R1

I came across a big reason not to go to V6R1 today.

V6R1 is the final and complete killer of WRKDBF.

I know that Bill stopped his work on WRKDBF in 2005 for valid reasons
but it has still been a fantastic tool for the small one man (or
fractional) shop. If anyone has any influence with Bill and can

convince

him to at least recompile WRKDBF so it will convert to V6R1 (no

support,

no updates, no other bothering him) I know that a bunch of people

would

buy him every drink he can down at the next Common. Might even take up

a

collection and send him a six pack of each premium beer of his

interest.
