I think that's what tripped me up studying this, I didn't realize Interdata= was trying to compete with IBM in the mainframe world. My only knowledge = of them is via the UNIX connection regarding 7/32 and 8/32, which gave me t= he impression that Interdata was more in DECs market slice with minis than = competing with IBM mainframes. That certainly puts their history in better= perspective for me, thanks Paul! - Matt G.
