Charles,
How will the product be limited? Partly due to price (no it is not $xxx), but
I do think that the projected street price, will prevent certain users from
caring that much about it (say $125, or there abouts).

A large concern.

Well you're a braver man than I, Gunga Din. I regularly dipped into both the
POP and language ref. when learning 370 assembler, but I never had the time or
desire to sit and read either from cover to cover :)
Cheers, Steve

Well, if the truth be known, I went down to defeat when I read the
descriptions of the new instructions for "Sort Assist". The explanations were
even harder to follow than that for the Dual Address Space (DAS) facility.

I don't think they're meant to be comprehensible, 'cos then the OEM sort folks
could try using them too and IBM would be back where they were before adding
the instructions <g>

OK, yes suspect your right.
