[Chuck Lewis <CLEWIS@xxxxxxxxxx>]

T sent him the following this afternoon !


Pavan !!

I forwarded your message over to the MAIN part of MIDRANGE, MIDRANGE-L
so you will be SURE to get the widest response !!

They are CRAZY if they think the AS/400 is going away in favor of S/390,
NT or Unix...

Watch for those posts, subscribe to MIDRANGE-L and I'll forward what I
have so far for you !

Hang in there my friend !!
