Hi Dennis,

According to login notices on ifarms all 32bit interactive farms will be 
decommissioned on Monday, March 14.

Is it possible to keep at least one such farm in production?

The reasons:

1) The migration to 64 bit systems is not complete. At least some of my 
code is not linking properly on ifarml6. I believe some other people 
will have similar problems.

2) As far as I know certain CLAS software like CED in not compiling on 
ifarml6

3) Its better to have backup option and be able to check certain old 
sources in the old environment. When migration from RHEL3 to RHFC8 
occurred it was very inconvenient the old environment was not available.

Regards
Ivan
