I was going to use this as a reply to the gentleman that said he could just
write a program and call it.  :)

ILE was compared to OO in this thread.  While there is a small similarity,
OO is more of a programming method, not a technique or tool.  ILE you can
start slow and gradually work into your applications.  OO is a whole new way
of thinking and programming that you really can just "work into" without a
lot of headache, learning, backtracking, etc.

Well, you have that with ILE as well <bg> but you can still start small with
ILE and integrate it into your existing system.
