RE: Is RPG available on any other platform ?

 Aaron we've moved very far off topic.  The original issue is "Is RPG
available on any other platform?"  My answer is "Yes, use VARPG on Windows."
 That statement still holds.  If your language is RPG then VARPG is a choice
that is available to you.

Discussion of other languages, etc, is for another place and time.  If you
know other languages then use them, but for an RPG shop with employees that
know their data already, and know their users, and know their RPGIV,
learning event-driven logic is a no-brainer.

These shops have the ability to use their team skills and put out plenty of
slick and fast Windows programs that their users will love.  These shops can
have a few inquiry applications up and running quicker than they can find
and hire a qualified Java programmer.  They can find VB programmers of
course but the diaper costs can become prohibitive.

Remember, we are dealing in a reality where MIS is measured by the speed and
up-time of e-mail, not ROI.

This is also the reason I have heard in my company. . .
