Hans, My company has been providing RPG based solutions for a looooong time. We've recently been looking at Linux as a communications server for our AS/400 shops. Now from recent news/rumors ... News: IBM will offer DB2 for free (free is good) for Linux. Rumor: IBM will support/port Linux to the IPCS. News flash via David: Linux will support RPG. Sounds more like complimentary then competitive to us! ;-) >From our view point, it just makes the AS/400 more competitive to those shops that care about uptime. And broadens our market base. Can we say win/win? I knew you could. :-) James W.
