I think I am one of the only ones who had to go backwards... from iX to V. I was completely lost the first time I used MPE/V. Everything was sooo different. I have to say, I like seeing CiErr instead of CIERR... It's like MPE/iX is screaming at you or something. Mixed upper/lower case is much nicer for UNIX people. :) > > > What major problems should I expect? > > Finding a better act to follow this one :-).

Why is is taking SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long!!!!! Daniel Kosack
