That explains it! While the rest of what you said really hadn't given me a
reason that indicated to me why this particular company would turn to
VisualAge Generator (although the product sounds great), the part about
generating for AIX does. This companies primary competitor is a Unix
product, they hired someone from their competition who had a Unix push going
on. I guess that his influence of the last years has pushed them to consider
it.

VisualAge Generator allows them to look at the Unix market as well as the
AS/400 one. While I would liked to see them use Java for this, I sure
understand their direction and in fact might have recommended it given those
parameters.
