You still seem to be wrestling with this so let me spell it out as
simply as I can Steve.
The above remark was made by a person who:
a) Did not work at IBM
b) Was not party to _any_ discussions on the future of ILE and RPG and
c) Has a product to sell.
On the other hand Hans and I were:
A) Both working for IBM during the period in question.
B) Were both heavily involved in many many architectural discussions
on RPG and ILE.
C) Hans was a lead architect/developer on the RPG IV compiler
D) In addition to my work in Toronto I spent 8 months on assignment
on Rochester working with the ILE architecture team.
Don't you think that one of us would have heard at least a hint of
this "single management decision"?
We didn't - there wasn't one - end of story.
