Sorry for reviving an old thread, but this one caught my eye and I just had to make some, admittedly off-topic, comments per the concept of assumptions that pervaded a number of the posts here.
1) Having worked with all manner of IBM systems, as well as some environments you guys probably never heard of, why anyone would assume that the way you do it in an IBM environment is the way you would do it anywhere else is beyond me. Heck, it often doesn't work the same way going from one IBM environment to another. (obligatory IBM dig here) 2) Trying to implement something in the Windows environment, I would assume that someone would go ahead and use the fine Windows installer that someone has been kind enough to create and maintain over the years -- instead of installing from the zip file. But then again, people on this list keep proving me wrong on this point. 3) Assuming something works on Windows, or any Microsoft implementation, the same way it works in other environments is also beyond me (obligatory Microsoft dig here) 4) Someone beginning to work in a new environment would read all available documentation on said environment as well as the related documentation of the application they wish to use that specifically targets that environment. But that takes time, and with the sorry state of documentation these days, or lack thereof, it doesn't really surprise me that someone wouldn't. Pretty soon, we will be at the other end of the spectrum from the old IBM 360/370 days, where documentation was not only voluminous, but also incomprehensible. That end of the spectrum ends with "completely non-existent, good luck reading the source code". It's been one of those weeks, and I had to get that off my chest. I've been in this industry since 1982, and the only thing that's really changed is the names. That and we can really mess things up much faster now. Jeff > -----Original Message----- > From: James H.
