I can imagine two reasons:
o It would provide a relative advantage to competitors What competitors, anymore? And couldn't IBM control the distribution of PL/X by licensing, even as IBM controls the distribution of z/OS? o Anticipated revenues don't match anticipated cost to support. But IBM devoted considerable resource, instead, to METAL-C. Is METAL-C displacing any use of PL/X within IBM? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
