All:
I'm Bob Shimizu, of Cole Software. I lurk on this list, and I
thought I'd venture a posting today.
Please excuse my repeating myself here. I have previously sent this
message to the FLEX-ES list, and I want to try to broadcast this idea
to the mainframe list as well.
Cole Software depends heavily on the FLEX-ES platform, and we too are going
to be affected if this useful platform is discontinued. Further, because
IBM doesn't formally recognize the Hercules project, we are unable to
participate in it.
At a recent IBM meeting, Mr. Jerry Duma of IBM announced that he shared our
concerns and that he was making it a high priority to find a resolution
between FSI and IBM so that T3 Technologies could again offer the platform.
Dave Cole has authorized me to contact this list and ask out loud if each of
you would care to organize into a group that would then lobby IBM to resolve
this issue, and soon. I would be happy to serve as one point of contact,
and perhaps there are others on this list who are motivated to cooperate
with me.
So, I put it to you: Would any of you care to band together and work
proactively for a solution? I will be happy to help if you do. I'm open to
all avenues of endeavor or approach that you'd be willing to discuss.
If you would like to sign up, please respond to me at
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED], and include your
name, whether (or not) your company is a member of the PWD
organization, your company's name , snail mail address, telephone/fax
numbers and any advice you'd like to offer. I will compile the
responses and will get back to the group soon.
Sincerely,
Bob
Robert W. Shimizu
