IBM created the PDS a long time ago - giving us some conveniences that fit within its OS design. Other computer companies either did not see this advantage or had OS structures that handled it other ways.

Or is it possible to still keep advantages of our OS and go in a different direction? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
