G'day Clem, To get a site on board for anything like JOL, takes a significant push from management and they like to see up to date and maintainable software that they do not have to look after themselves. My primary recollection as to why Shell Australia went back to JCL was the scare factor of one person, which was you, being the sole supporter of a software product that is an integral part of their production operations. That seemed to scare the daylights out of management back then, and probably would still do so now. There was also a concern as to the ability of the product to survive operating system upgrades. I do no recall exactly when they gave stopped using JOL. Also, in my experience, documentation to install and run a product must be spot on nowadays. Run across one small glitch and every site with inexperienced personnel will stop right there and as far as they are concerned the product is a dud.
