How about a real AS/400 application... Our reservation system here at CMI
involves RPG programs which reference no less than 40 database files. If I
had to count them it would probably me closer to 80+. This application is
by no means different than many AS/400 apps. Take a look at the open data
paths on a JDE app.

In any case, do you expect XML to maintain a connection to such a set of
database files? At what cost?

Ken --

The future of Microsoft is being built on XML, NOT EDI. If you want to bet
against Microsoft's future success, do it -- but considering their past
success, I'd hedge that bet.

If you consider the sheer number and intensity of companies and worldwide
organizations behind XML, you'll see that XML is the future of computing.

Do I REALLY believe it's that important and will be that pervasive?

Yes.

So does Microsoft ... IBM ... Sun ... Oracle ... and on and on ...
