RE: V5R1

["Cox, Joe" <joecox@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dale, you need the CA refresh at least for some of the functions in Office
XP if not for Win XP.  We ran into a similar problem trying to get it for
our V4R5 system.  IBM's initial response was that the refresh was only
available for V4R4 and since we had V4R5 since May the request wasn't
timely.  IBM's solution was for us to buy new disks as replacement.

That was unacceptable given we paid for a software subscription.  Our
business partner helped us convince IBM to send us the CD's at no charge.

PS  This list is great.  I've learned so many things lurking the last year
and a half.  Thanks everybody.

It seems that we have no business reason to upgrade out box to V5R1,
everything is just working dandy with V4R4, so am in no rush to have my
system slow down because of the new OS ( am running a 9406 S20 38G DASD) .
But, an affiliated company has started upgrading some of their computers to
WindowsXP. (sigh) Which of course requires Client Access V5R1 which we do
not have.
My BP tells me I cannot order C/A V5R1 without ordering the WHOLE OS. Is
this true?

TIA,

Dale
