The JFS was developed for AIX version 3 (previous AIXes ran on the original IBM RT). BTW (for just a bit of trivia), there was also an AIX on the PS/2's, though its kernel shared nothing in common with the RS/6K kernel (it was developed by LCC, not IBM) as well as a version of AIX that ran on 390's that used an OSF/1 kernel. The PS/2 and 390 versions of AIX did, however, use RS/6K source as the base for their libraries and commands. -- Bob Willcox Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made bob@luke.pmr.com President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
