Re: EDI Translator wanted

What incentive will there be for companies who have already invested
thousands or even millions of dollars in an EDI system with hundreds or
thousands of trading partners to switch to  a technology like XML.  Had Java
replaced RPG?  I sure don't think it will happen..... REPLACE or REMOVE are
STRONG words.
