Re: Is this the Free-Format that we asked for?

[Gary Guthrie <GaryGuthrie@xxxxxxxx>]

The Web forum is in conjunction with an article written for NEWS/400
magazine. I don't think IBM "picked" anything. I believe that was a
NEWS/400 creation and IBMers graciously accepted an invitation to
participate.

Also, the forum is open to the public and costs nothing. Follow the
following link and see:
