It runs in a virtual machine unto itself, much as CMS itself does. I believe that also means that multiple VMIXes could be running simultaneously on the same machine, and coexisting with CMS. As far as being a loser product, I think it is very fair to compare VMIX with PCIX if the appropriate adjustments are made to account for the different machines they run on -- since the same people developed both products. I have seen the documentation, and it sure looks similar. Please don't ask me more since I don't know any more. Ben Settle is definitely the right person to ask. Charlie Perkins PS. As far as I know, this is the FIRST posting to the net from IBM. Does anyone else know differently? PPS. It is certainly a pleasure to be back on the net after a long absence.
