Gary,
I've actually taken a company in the opposite direction, off Baby36 to IBM
Power i, several years ago, because it was a better (financially as well as
stability of the app) for the company. The maintenance charges for that
software were considerable, plus the reliability needed by the operation was
not there (running the Win version). Running on IBM Power they were much
happier.
Is this a move to save $$, or is the GUI conversion what is really driving
the decision (or is someone thinking the OS and hardware are just
commodities)?

Hi.
I've been directed to look at moving some applications off our IBM i (i5
@V5R4) as an alternative to upgrading. One company I'm to look at is named
California Software but is also known as Infinite Corporation. Their
website rang a bell when I saw BABY36 and BABY i there. They, essentially,
convert displays from DDS to GUI format and have their own language
compilers. Everything that is converted runs on Windows or Linux so DB2 is
also translated to SQL Server or Oracle.
I haven't heard much about them over the years - pro or con. Anyone have
any comments on their products - pro or con? Contact me privately if you
wish.
Thanks,
Gary Monnier
