RE: UPS WorldShip via ODBC - why ODBC?

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

JT:
you are correct, UPS has a lot of 400s (I have done a fair amount of
contract work for them in the past), but mostly in the WWL (worldwide
logistics) group.  I believe the rest of UPS (aka Big Brown) runs mostly on
UNIX and lots of mainframes.

I'm just catching a couple posts in this thread...

Off on a tangent - my understanding is that UPS is one of the largest 400
shops...  So why can't they spend the resources to come up with 2 versions
of this WorldShip...?  I saw an article a while back, that indicated UPS is
HEAVY into modularized systems.  Why can't the debug this problem, for good,
by creating a snap-in for iCitizens, specifically?  (Or rather, loyal 400
users...)
