The problem is that 93.7% of IBM probably has no idea that IBM owns whistle. I remember a discussion I had with an IBM sales rep working at the NCC conference in the early 1980's. He had no idea that IBM was selling systems that ran UNIX. At the time they were selling a 68K based lab system ( the 9000 ?? ) and I think were still selling the Series 1. I'm sure that things haven't changed much since. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Kenneth P.
