Why didn't you wondering why none of the non-ASCII platform support optical drive and its media? BTW: what platforms do you mean? I know very few: z/OS, z/VSE, z/VM, z/TPF and some really rare, usually clones of IBM systems (Fujitsu, Hitachi, Siemens). Not sure about GECOS and Unisys. Personally I would not care about any of them excluding z/OS and z/VM. However I strongly believe that any of the installations do have some "waystation" aka PC computer in the shop. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
