Re: Lansa/MRC Users

Hello Don, 

Thanks for your reply. 

My definition of "cross platform development" is a tool that let's my 
developers write code that will run on AS/400-iSeries, Windows, Unix or 
Linux without making major changes. 

As a software vendor we have to be able to address the needs of iSeries 
users who will be running Unix or Linux on the new i5 or whatever future 
system incarnation graces us. 

So far I have not been able to find anything magic that let's us develop 
once and run everywhere. 

We attended a Websphere Developer Studio Client and Lansa demo this week 
and both tools look promising, but each appears to have their weaknesses 
as well. 

The MRC tool also looks interesting, but I haven't seen it in action yet. 

Does that help better define what I meant by "cross platform development" 
?
