You mean .net plays nice with VB6, or J++, or FoxPro, or any of the
hundreds of other development environments MS has churned out over the
years? That's amazing!

Do you really expect PHP to work like Java?

As I mentioned above, we are doing our part. IBM's marketing is not.

how is it a marketing problem when so many IBM i shops have moved off
the system? Companies that use the system already know what it can
do. More marketing will not tell them anything they dont know. The
problem is software technology. IBM is very poorly managed on this
front. PHP works different than Java, which is different from RPG, SQL
procedures, CL, COBOL and C. ( but what do I know. This is the same for
Linux, where the many programming languages used there dont work
interchangeably either. It is only in .NET where I see an emphasis on
languages working well together. )
