- I was specifically talking about the VM platforms. Our AIX platform has
- been real smooth. Everybody gets their own software shipped directly
- to them. If you, like me, have a large number of Risc boxes at one site
- then you can DSLO the software on the others and its does not ship extra
- copies.
