Re: Language feature code: 2984 vs 2924

[Jerry Draper <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Careful here.  Unless you have some specific reason to be on 2984 there 
are heaps of reasons not to confuse the matter.

We have 2984 set as primary so we can have Chinese and Japanese.

Once set there are other ramnifications such as Client Access installed 
for 2924 won't upgrade from a 2984 system, ODBC xlat issues, and you 
can't use 2924 media for 2984 systems, etc.
