(Does anyone do the latter, nowadays; I know my employer sees very little demand for physical media. We may have product contracts that commit us to delivering tapes.) I suppose IBM has valid reasons for not predisclosing the "various options". What does IBM recommend that ISVs do? I know that quite a while ago I suggested in an RCF that the "Program Packaging" guide should be less tape-centric. Pubs took it as a valid suggestion, but I've seen no result. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
