talk to your IBM sales rep about purchasing extended support...
 
it's available but also has special prices...    _________________ Michael

				This site will be off v5.3 by the end of the year. Not sure how they're managing support in the period Sept - Dec; I suspect it involves crossing fingers!    
 
 
Seriously, "critical" systems will be off v.5.3 by Q3. _________________ Honesty is the best policy.

	So MQ 5.3 is out of service in Sept 2007 on unix systems.
 
 
Are there many people still on 5.3? | 
   
 
Far more than you might believe ...
