subject: Re: name of SYSi database.

I think Bruce Vining answered this question authoritatively. To my
knowledge there has never been a "DB1" anywhere. What you are referring to
are LPPs that were a bunch of useful utilities that IBM shipped free with
the S/38. They did need to be loaded separately. The database on the S/38
was never really named, although we all knew it was "Db2 like". Later the
database became known as Db/400, but I don't know if that was official or
not. Once the final name IBM i was announced it became Db2 for i.
