Thanks, Alan. Good news indeed from the P.T.B. And to all who want to continue to use IBMLink greenscreen. BTW, this morning I received an e-mail "update notification" related to a PMR that I opened yesterday using the web-based IBMLink. (I opened it there because it's an easy place to paste "wider" console logs than the XEDIT screens on IBMLink greenscreen). I tried to click on the URL listed to get me back to the IBMLink PMR. It did not respond. After a 2+ minute wait without any progress, I opened another window and entered the commands to logon to IBMLink greenscreen - in 15 seconds I was logged on and into the actual PMR. Now... in all fairness, we were having Novell LAN performance problems at the time, so accessing the web-based IBMLink could have been related to that. But it's another link in the chain that can fail. I'll continue to choose the right tool for the job. Just because you have a spider, not everything is a web. :-) Mike Walter Hewitt Associates Any opinions expressed herein are mine alone and do not necessarily represent the opinions or policies of Hewitt Associates.
