I'd say "it's not known whether you can do that on Hercules". AFAIK, nobody has ever gotten a refusal to license on Hercules at any price from IBM in writing. If such a document exists, I'd appreciate seeing it; until I do, there's been enough FUD thrown around from one particular party that I'm disinclined to believe it. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro.cx http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net http://www.hercules-390.org (Yes, that's me!)
