Won't be much longer. You know those... very long... very passionate... 
discussions about RPG vs. Java? Well... Java won Lawson's heart. They are 
"refactoring" all of their applications to Java. They aren't calling it a 
rewrite (I want whatever they are smoking/drinking). Not only that, users 
can "write their own programs" using this scripting lanugage that all 
programs will be written in. Read up on Lawson's Landmark project for more 
details. Big thing I see is iSeries gets the applications same time as 
everyone else and I can ask the Unix/NT guys for help on coding now. I have 
a lot of questions and not formulating an opinion before knowing the full 
story (basically is in my hands).

So anyway, back to what I was saying... with the java version, obviously, 
you can release it on all platforms at the same time. In this case it is 
cool.
