I understand the potential impact on the software bill zIIP-on-CP might have. That is not the point I want to get a better understanding. I'm interested in the technical aspects, only. IMHO, from a technical point of view the invention of zIIPs and zAAPs is pure bullshit. From a financial point of view they are helping lowering costs -- and that is their only reason to be. I predict (and no I don't have any insight into IBM's plans) zIIPs will be gone in the not so distant future. Container Pricing makes the zIIP/zAAP concept superfluous. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
