Not many. But we just sold a company which used about 40 MIPS in two LPARs. I think the only reason that they are not on a PC based system is because their system runs well and is written to use IMS. They don't want the expense of converting from IMS to a relation DB. And rewriting all the COBOL code too, of course. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
