Is it a non-west-coast specific mentality to ignore reality? Is cobol bringing in top computer professionals because of the challenges it poses? Who was it that convinced companies to switch from MVS to Unix because it is superior? Do you consider Unix files superior when they haven't changed since they were first conceived? Programmers flee to Unix because it offers real computer challenges instead of z/OS forcing them to focus on the business. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
