Re: Sending a save file to a Midrange box

["Art Tostaine, Jr." <atostaine@xxxxxxxxx>]

They are a transportation/trucking company.

I am doing software development only. I make recommendations about their
system but I think they just don’t want to change. They’ve been on the IBM
probably since V3R1.

I’m told after this project they are going to upgrade to V7R5 and the
hardware if necessary. If they keep me around I’ll let them know about
IPL’s, journaling, things most of us do now.
