Re: AS/400 vs. IBM i

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

CPF is from around 1980 - Control Program Facility, IIRC - on the System 38.

But that seems of no importance to me - as someone else replied, would 
anyone change everything on the system for this, besides, it has never 
been attached to either AS/400 or any other system name, so far as I can 
tell.

Cheers
Vern
