And, from what I've seen, IBM does not like to give some things out to customers because it "freezes" what IBM can do in the future. Backward compatability is wonderful for customers and a royal pain for vendors as it can impact innovation. I wonder when/if Linux will ever suffer from the "can't change that, the customers would revolt" syndrome. <snip> > > Alan Altmark > z/VM Development > IBM Endicott -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
