There are many, many clients out there. Many work with z/os, some don't. If you are in the position of supporting many different outside customers, you cringe at the thought of the calls demanding that your reboot z/os or fix z/os because their brand new software does not work right out of the box.
It make some sense to have a list of products/versions known to work with z/os. For the case in point, one possible recourse is to simply delete that product from the 'approved' list. Enforcement is not that hard for company machines these days. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 10:08 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: ftp.exe and Vista On Thu, 3 Jun 2010 10:31:02 -0400, C.
