Like, they can create all the emulator they want, but if IBM doesn't give them DB2 for example then it's useless, no? I thing the suit is somewhat preemptive. IBM acts concerned that PSI will sue them for refusing to license the software. Suing PSI for patent infringement would make this sort of trust suit moot. (Not a lawyer, however.) Also, all the PSI's advertising that you can run z/OS, etc. on their boxes creates bad will with IBM customers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
