We are running the MVS Server (version 1) and would like to upgrade to
version 3.
  Two questions :

        1. Can you upgrade to version 3  directly from version 1 ?
                ( or do you need to upgrade to ver 2 first )

        2. Has anyone actually done this and can they share their experience.

  I don't know if answers to these questions would benefit the list
recipients at large
  so responses to me directly may be more prudent ( and are welcome ! ).

  Thanks in advance .......
        Gary
