If the RS6000 came with CP67 or CMS, I could can the VM partition on our 3090 and run the dwindling timesharing load on a mid-range RS6000 - that would probably be a Good Thing! We have 2 RS6000's here at Delmarva and I HATE working on them. I'd rather work on Sun problems or (shudder) SCO problems rather than AIX... - John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- John K.
