IBM's use of V6.1 is shorthand for Version 6 Release 1. The first release of each version is necessarily "Release 1." What IBM avoids (IIRC) is *Version* 1, as that implies a future version, presumably with substantial upgrades. On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 10:35 AM, RPN01 wrote: > If I remember the

If I remember the story correctly, you won't see a version such as 6.0, because in IBM wisdom, this would imply that there would be following releases (due to the decimal). Now why it's ok to have 6.1, and why that doesn't carry the same implication, I don't know. -- Robert P. Nix Mayo F

In the days of O/S 360, the even numbered releases were the bad ones. Was it perhaps because of the team alignments? We went from O/S MFT R15 to R17 and then to R21 and had very little trouble with any of them. On the other hand, the people I knew who installed R16 and R20 had all sorts of troub
