RE: V5R3

 >> This is not rocket science, IBM has to either get on board with CLI (
search the web for ECMA CLI ) or improve ILE.

I don't disagree about the importance of CLI.  I just don't believe that it
will be the deciding factor in the live/die decision.

>From the MS site it would appear that the source code for a port is
available.  Since the code supplied will run on BSD how  hard can it be to
port to Linux/AIX on the iSeries.  For that matter how hard is a native
port?  In other words - what has ILE got to do with it.

I like Java as a language and regret MSs attitude over it.  Much as I
dislike MS, I have to admit that CLI, which potentially embraces all
languages, makes a lot more sense than a strategy of "switch to Java and to
heck with your existing applications".
