How could IBM stop them, other than by some sort of license about what could be run on an IFL? Systems such as z/OS do not run on an IFL due to some differences in the microcode loaded. z/OS is dependant on those differences. If somebody wanted to, they could port one of the *BSDs to run on an IFL. OpenSolaris runs on an IFL as well. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
