Academic Mainframe Software

        By Cathy Hardy, Academic Database Consultant (ac55@vm.acs.unt.edu)

        Over the summer of 1996, the academic side of the IBM 9672 mainframe saw some software changes. Some of the previous software had been waiting to be upgraded. Upgrades and changes are scheduled between times of heavy usage whenever possible, so the week or two between spring semesters and summer semesters, and the couple of weeks between summer semesters and fall semesters are very busy for the Computing Center.
