Howard - I wasn't picking on or pointing at anyone in particular - I was even 
good enough NOT to use the thread to advertise our
automated testing tools which would work with almost any choice of language !!

Good point Jamie, I realized I was getting off topic and created a new
thread!

Can we just take a step back here.

We have been asked a collective question from a newcomer to our "group" of
iSeries users seeking advice on what choices we would
suggest for developing applications on the AS/400.

The question was:   " We have an opportunity to rewrite an entire system
using whatever platform we select.  If any of you have
suggestions for us, we'd be very appreciative."

We are all users of the AS/400 and can see the benefits but have we given
constructive advice to an "newcomer" or have we answered
the question in the most positive of ways, or simply used it to crack jokes
and rekindle old jokes and pet hates/likes? and muddied
the issue.

If I was an ousider looking in I would see that the user fraternity has a
lot of gripes about the AS/400 and move on to look at the
next platform.

Just my opinion - I won't say humble!!
