I must say I'm surprised to hear that. I wonder why we at Midas-Kapiti International haven't been told? Midas and Equation must have been rewritten over the weekend. Certainly they were 99% RPG (with all new development in ILE/RPG IV) and CL last week. I wonder if our customers have been told? Or don't major banking packages count? :) Cheers, Martin. -- Martin McCallion Midas-Kapiti International Work: mccallim@midas-kapiti.com Home: martin.mccallion@ukonline.co.uk Apologies for the length of this sig, but company policy says: This email message is intended for the named recipient only.
