Gail,

     Yes - and thanks to the two folks who responded.  I also opened a question
with IBM on this, and the two responses from ADSM-L were right on.  The
statement's meaning is that the clients for these platforms will not be brought
forward to 3.7; but the 3.1 level of the clients will continue to be supported.

                    Ginny
