Re: RPG IV and CF-spec "keep it IBM"

Hans,

I don't know if the hackers would use it, but as an application developer, I
would.

The "bread and butter" accounting applications (the boring stuff) is served very
well by RPG.

IMO, RPGII/OCL (S/36) on a Linux based IBM branded box would be sellable.  Put
this in an IP network with Telnet, FTP, etc. and you have a low cost 436.  You
could call it PC/400 :-)
