Re: PC RPG compiler?

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

VARPG doesn't use DDS.  It uses some internal stuff and event driven
programming.  Not saying that this is good or bad.  It's just something you
have to consider if you want to play in that environment.

I guess you have to balance the "THEORY" of being able to plug you iSeries
applications on to a PC and run without rework versus having applications
that have a more PC look and feel.

 >>  I'm not aware of any PC-based ILE RPG compilers...

IBM's VARPG is RPG IV based. Also at COMMON in Minneapolis Bob Cozzi
mentioned a PC and Linux RPG IV compiler that was under development.  I
just
checked his web pages and don't see any mention of it but I'll copy him on
this note and he can maybe post the details.
