Leif, You wrote "One of the most important is that it makes it a lot easier to get off the platform. :-)" I caught the ":-)", but this is sometimes given ***seriously*** as an advantage to some particular methodology.. for example Java. I've never managed to see this as much of an advantage. The reason I work on iSeries is that I'd rather not compromise quality, and seek the least-common-denominator type of solutions that are readily available on other platforms. JMHO. I recognize there are other pros and cons, but never understood this particular advantage to Java and such, over the iSeries. jt > -----Original Message----- > From: midrange-l-admin@midrange.com > [mailto:midrange-l-admin@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Leif Svalgaard > Sent: Saturday, November 10, 2001 2:20 PM > To: midrange-l@midrange.com > Subject: Re: CFINT: I understand it now... > > > From: Joe Pluta <joepluta@PlutaBrothers.com> > > > ===> no argument, really.
