Re: Is V7R1 catching on?

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are not at 7.1 yet.

We are trying to get there... but we are still at v5r4, and struggling 
to find time when we can perform all of the needed updates to all of our 
3rd party software. We are also struggling with the changes to the way 
the dev tools are licensed, and trying to figure out how to justify the 
increase in cost of the new dev tools.

These challenges, of course, were introduced with 6.1, not 7.1.  We 
never made it to 6.1 for the reasons I list above... just a MAJOR, MAJOR 
headache to make the upgrade with the 3rd-party software and dev 
tools...   but we've gotta move forward eventually... so I'm trying to 
push the team to go to 7.1 soon.  Hopefully in the next month or two.
