LOL, considering Charles' statement about a "new" RPG replacement compiler, I 
wonder if VARPG might not be becoming native on System i..... 

Just a thought...

I would like this product to continue but
like someone mentioned in an earlier email
have gotten mixed messages to its future.

This page talks about 'what's new' for 7.0:
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/wdt400/news/ga700.html

On the right are links to the announcement letter as well as some 
Statements of Direction. 
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/wdt400/news/planning700.html#ui

These are going away after 7.0:
        
CoOperative Development Environment (CODE)
The CoOperative Development Environment (CODE) tools (CODE Editor, CODE 
Designer, CODE Project Organizer, CODE Program Generator and the IBM 
Distributed Debugger) are deprecated in WDSC V7.0 and WDSC AE V7.0.

This is the statement about VARPG:

Currently you can leverage your existing RPG IV skills to create rich 
client applications by using VisualAge RPG 6.0, which is included in 
WDSC 7.0 and WDSC AE 7.0.

IBM is exploring enhanced functions to enable you to use your RPG skills 
in the creation of rich user interfaces more effectively, targeting a 
wide variety of devices. IBM plans to define a path that allows 
VisualAge RPG users to take full advantage of these exciting new 
capabilities with minimal effort.

All statements regarding IBM's plans, directions, and intent are subject 
to change or withdrawal without notice.
