Boy! Are you optimistic. >It's enough just to ask people responsible for the softwaren - they should know what installed. Not always! I've been at many shops where IBM has come in to audit what software has been installed. This is simply because people have lost track. >If they don't know - that indicate the organization of the team needs improvement. Or, the team has changed composition. Or, something has not been upgraded for a long time. Or, the person who did the install has quit, been fired, retired, died, or otherwise moved on. How many times have you seen posts by people who have incomplete doc, because they've inherited something, that they know nothing about it. Also, after out-sourcing, there is the potential for things to fall through the cracks. Your posted response assumes a perfect world. It isn't! - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
