RE: Many RPG programmers would like to be able to port

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jon,

I don't doubt that many people ask for the ability to run RPG on other

platforms, I even tried out RPG on an HP3000. I do question how many
are truly serious. I recall a session at Common where the presenter
asked how many would like to see RPG generate Java bytecode. A
large percentage -- hundreds? raised their hands. I have yet to meet
anyone who is using RPG generated Java Bytecode.

Joe - I wasn't asking for opinions - I was stating _facts_

Any number of major BPs and customers over the years have asked for
the
capability.  Do you think VARPG came about just for fun?

Anyway - you have your opinion and no one will shift you from it.

Personally I would like to have a decent PC or Linux based version -
with V5
features - so that I can develop more readily when I don't have a 400
available.  They don't fit well under airline seats and most hotels
have too
slow a connection to make it worth the effort.

Anyway, as I said - let's not confuse fact with opinion.  Fact remains
that
very large numbers of people have asked for it over the years.
