RE: Out of Disk Space!

[macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxx]

Not us, because we are on V5R1 or model 170, where if we ever did migrate to 
a later hardware model, the cost to upgrade BPCS license would be many times 
more expensive than the hardware.

... it has been a while since I inquired about what SERVIT could not do that 
IGM could do, so my memory may be faulty..  Maybe it is just that they can 
install upgrades, not supply them.
