At a database conference in 1998, I heard that IBM was actually experiencing an
increase in the number of IMS licensees. Companies were bringing in consultants
and veteran developers for Y2K. Perhaps they were also using them to work
through an application development backlog on some legacy hardware.



IMS may prove to be as venerable as the C-47 (DC3) aircraft.
