No, OS/400 is what replaced IBM System 34, System 36, and System 38. (Apparently they jumped to 40, and then multiplied by 10 to suggest it was 10x as good...) It was based on the CMU "Hydra" project, which built an OS with a pretty strong security kernel, with ties to the "orthogonal persistence" notion. By this point, they have created a POSIX-emulation environment so it can pretend to be somewhat like a Unix, but underneath, it's a database system for running RPG code. As such, it kind of starts as a DBMS. Somehow, I'm not sure that PostgreSQL-on-OS/400 is likely to be more than a curiosity. -- (reverse (concatenate 'string "moc.enworbbc@" "enworbbc")) http://www3.sympatico.ca/cbbrowne/rdbms.html If you can't see the bright side of things, polish the dark side... ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
