Ah, David. You've only posted a couple of messages, but already you've shown more spin than a professional 9-ball player. Let's cut through the malarkey, shall we? ASC's primary product line has no migration option. They do sell the RIO product, of which one of its options is conversion to C++ or Java and is primarily used for Java conversions. Databorough also has an auxiliary tool, X-Migrate, which can convert programs to either WebSphere or .NET, but again it's a very small part of their overall strategy, and just one more tool in their rather broad portfolios. With either company, they provide a wealth of tools to help you extend your iSeries applications. Of course, if you're dead-set on conversion, they can help you there too, and I understand that. This is in direct contrast to California Software, whose sole purpose in life is to move people off of the iSeries, thus putting them much more in line with Microsoft. Their marketing disinformation is also legendary now, with the recent advertising campaign that was extensively addressed on this very mailing list. Then again, I guess you can measure a man by the company he keeps; this might also explain why ASC and Databorough aren't part of the MAP. In fact, the very fact that companies which might benefit from association with your organization and yet choose not to do so says volumes about integrity, both theirs and yours, I think. Ah well, off my soapbox. Respond as you will, or won't, but do me a favor and keep the VB advertisements on the PC Tech list where they belong, eh? Joe
