Hi Murray,

I haven't looked at Dev Con 10 yet. I'm glad they are starting to put
the maintenance on there. It's just that CSD#6 and Toolkit CSD#2 are
about 4 or 5 months old now. I've already got CSD#7 installed for the
compiler and am looking to get CSD#3 for the toolkit.

It is a real bummer that Personal Edition is not being upgraded to
V1R2. The reason offered was too small a sales volume. When major
corporate customers buy Professional Edition in multi-hundred-licence
batches to "downsize" their mainframe programmers, it skews the
appearance of the sales figures.

Actually, it came with the house. I used an electric light to read the
holes in the cards.

Dave
