Re: Kronos on IBM i 7.1

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To respond to Scott's idea about using something tested on 6.1 - the 
program conversion deal is the same at 7.1, so if it runs on 6.1, it 
should do so on 7.1 - unless there is something in the Memo to Users 
that points out something. At least for us, there was nothing obvious to 
cause any problems. But we're not Kronos, of course!
