RE: California Software/Infinite Corporation

Thanks Jon. I had forgotten about the dongles. A good point to remember. If pricing is per dongle it could be prohibitively expensive.

I've looked at the cloud as well. So far not much luck.

Thanks again,

Gary

They have not been much of a presence for many years now. Biggest issue used to be that you had to have a dongle if I recall correctly.

Why not simply deploy some of your existing code to a cloud based system? That way you know the code will run unchanged. There's no way it will be that simple using Baby i - for that you've got to pay for Baby i itself, pay for the conversion time, pay for the Linux/Windows hardware, etc. Hard to believe that that would be a good deal.

Hi.

I've been directed to look at moving some applications off our IBM i (i5 @V5R4) as an alternative to upgrading. One company I'm to look at is named California Software but is also known as Infinite Corporation. Their website rang a bell when I saw BABY36 and BABY i there. They, essentially, convert displays from DDS to GUI format and have their own language compilers. Everything that is converted runs on Windows or Linux so DB2 is also translated to SQL Server or Oracle.

I haven't heard much about them over the years - pro or con. Anyone have any comments on their products - pro or con? Contact me privately if you wish.

Thanks,
