Ted,

Re 33.33 gigs:

>> Unless, of course, you're using one of those fancy mainframe Source Library
Managers (like Panvalet or Librarian) that can compress your source code into
unrecognizable bits of information. But, then you wouldn't be able to access
your source code from your PC because the Library Managers only run on MVS.

Therein lies the rub with many of the PC-based Y2K tools, like MatriDigm and
PTUS.

Yet another consideration in the ongoing competition for the "best in class"
Y2K fix. <<

Please help me out, 'cause I'm dense...

33.33 gigs holds 1 billion LOC. That's a lousy 33.33 JAZ disks, right? Nobody works on a gig of code at once, right? So, is the cost of say 33.33 JAZ disks a big deal, in the context of a billion LOC y2k project?

Thanks,

Bounced Czech
(P.S. I think coffee and pizza will make a bigger dent in the budget)
