MI as the MI language of the as400. was: porting OS/400 compiler functionality to Windows...

an excerpt from the a Wayne Evans web page.

( Look for "Early history of S/38" link at the bottom of the page. )

"... I remember the day the issue was solved. A meeting of key technical
staff was
held one cold winter day in Rochester, MN. The proponents and opponents of
the abstract machine were gathered in the conference room of Glen Henry the
programming system manager. Glen was an extremely intelligent individual but
like so many truly gifted people, he lacked polished human interaction
skills.
When Glen Henry saw the obvious answer he told you so with few words and
without any sugar coating. Glen proclaimed the end of the debate. With great
emotion he explained that the abstract machine interface (later to be known
as
MI) was the only choice. Glen explained how this abstract machine would
protect
IBM investment from the clone hardware vendors. He concluded with “either
get
with the program or I will be happy to sign the transfer of any individual
to
another area”."

Who is Glenn Henry ?  ( I know the name, but not much else ).

What is his opinion on how Rochester has used OMI on the AS400 ?
