These systems all started on > IBM mainframes. Ask me how I know. ;-) Hey Dan, You're just like my wife. So, darling, you are absolutely right. I was wrong. I apologise, and I'll never do it again. IBM is were all ISV application development started and are also to blame for all bad marketing. Their claims are all false. Oracle are blameless innocents who never do anything wrong and deserve to own the entire database market on all platforms and are also the only people who truly use one code base for everything.
