If you REALLY want a quick braincheck, compare the late 1960s GEORGE III "Filestore" with IBM's 'somewhat later' SMS. z/OS is still not there, even now. But who could take an operating system called "GEORGE" (GEneral ORGanisation Environment) seriously, when IBM was already delivering a tenth of the functiuonality at twice the price? -- Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.com +44 7785 302 803
