Wendell,

  It may be helpful to explain that Image/sql contains most all the
functionality of Allbase, but it is limited in the amount of space (I
think that is correct) you can use without the Allbase license.  Thus,
there really isn't any space savings from deleting Allbase and keeping
Image/sql, since both use the same code.

  BTW, after the change in support contract is in the system, you can
order a new subsys tape and Allbase shouldn't be included.
