Re: [IBMiOSS] C# decryption port to Power i

Not to fan the flame of Microsoft haters, but you could probably write a .Net web service to accomplish this in a few hours and could consume it from anything on IBMi.

If you’re going for Linux on x86, why not just use Windows, because it runs everything except RPG 😊

.Net also runs on Linux now as well with Core 2.0.

FWIW - It will be a cold day before you see IBM port .Net to IBMi.

Tim Rowe can’t even speak the name Microsoft or .Net in his presentations 😊

If you want a separate Linux machine then there are surely cheaper options than using up IBMi resources creating a Linux LPAR?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a full Gnu dev env on IBM i.

I just think it makes more sense to use a Linux LPAR as your web-facing
application fetching data from IBM i.

Because it's worlds easier to develop, test, and deploy this stuff on Linux.
