Let me ask a question to the list; How many people would like it if you could buy just ONE development package for the AS/400 ? If you bought it to do development on the AS/400 you would automatically get EVERY compiler on the AS/400, along with VA/xxxx & CODE/400 too. So you would have C, RPG, COBOL, VA/Java, VA/RPG, etc, etc. and all the other Tools. Would that be a good idea??
