But in any case, both Peter and Jim, as I read their messages, were talking about the operating system itself running on the processors. They were not making statements about which applications (client, or vendor, or IBM) would run on which processors. The OS is very careful to check which instructions and facilities are available and use alternatives as appropriate, but we can't comment on what the applications that run on the OS might do, and whether they will work on specific processors or OS releases. Only the application developers know that. -- Walt Farrell IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design
