Yeah, that's what he said: "Steep". So you learn fast and easily.
--- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* November: John Kerry easily sweeps to a 53-state landslide victory in the exit polls and has pretty much picked out his new Cabinet when word begins to leak out that the actual, physical voters have elected George W. Bush. Democrats struggle to understand how this could have happened, and, after undergoing a harsh and unsparing self-examination, conclude that red-state residents are morons. Some Democrats threaten to move to Canada; Republicans, in a gracious gesture of reconciliation, offer to help them pack. -Dave Barry, 2004 in Review */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Seymour J Metz Sent: Friday, December 23, 2022 11:01 Steep learning curve?

It's not perfect, but it's very good for our needs. Downsides: - steep learning curve: setup and learning the XML elements ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
