That was the attitude that I was getting last year, when there was a large push by the ex-CIO to convert all the zSeries applications to Windows via "automated code conversion" techniques. I knew if that happened, I would be gone and it would not be my problem. But I had plans to keep in contact with some people I know in the NOC. Assuming that they were not too afraid to talk, I expected to get a lot of good belly laughs. The new CIO appears to be platform agnostic. The biggest thing in his basket is to convert from in house written applications to C.O.T.S. (Commercial Off The Shelf) software. -- 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.
