Nor do I see a reason to be dishonest. Which is why I endeavor not to be. We apparently have different evidence in front of us. You apparently observed one organization that migrated ATM switching from z/OS to HP NonStop. (I'm not sure when, so I'm curious about that. If it's "z/OS," presumably it was after the year 2000?) Perhaps you have other information as well. I'm not at all surprised that ACI would say, at least at some point in time, that most of their installations are not on the IBM mainframe. When your product only runs on Tandem (practically speaking) for some time, it's hard to have any other starting point. :-) I said "you can guess the trend" based on my observations. As I said, apparently ours are different. I assume you're honest in your observations, and I know I am in mine. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
