> Not until you show me a business server that does the job better, Leif.  It
makes absolutely no sense to me to make my server-side code portable at the
cost of performance, just for the sake of being portable.  That's a red
herring and a losing game, and it cost some major companies their livelihood
(look at System Software Associates).

another server, I'll simply redesign my templates and move on.  Remember,
Leif, all of my servers are encapsulated by a message, so they can be
reimplemented in any language on any platform I choose.  I simply choose the
AS/400, and have no reason to be "free" of it.

Don't rely on the AS/400 as the back-end. Then you are truly free.
