This is a completely untrue statement. The department which I work
in is comprised of a considerable number of version 3 developers.
Not only myself, but three others from the same v3 area, plus several
others from different v3 groups.
There is a significant amount of communication from my area (PS/2,
S/370) to the S/6000 area. Many of the programmers who worked on
the most recent round of PS/2 development here in Austin were
contractors whose stint with IBM ran out as development on AIX v3
wound down. The same is true from the PS/2 side - as development
on the latest PS/2 update/etc expired, a good number of contractors
have gone back to AIX v3 as contractors.
So, not only is there direct communication, there is also a good deal
of cross-pollination. What you must remember is that AIX v1 and
AIX v3 are two different products running on two very different
hardware platforms. There are restrictions on the PS/2 side that
just don't exist on the S/6000, and vice versa. For example, v3
just won't fit on a 9370 or PS/2.
