Re: Visual Age RPG and .NET environment

["Booth Martin" <Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Asna's Visual RPG product and IBM's Visual Age RPG are two different
approaches.  Both salvage our RPG skills.

One issue that isn't clear as yet to me about .NET is if it will run on
non-Microsoft workstations?  Linux is coming 
 
At the .NET session did you see what exists and is available right now, or
what is promised someday?

Last week my manager had me attend a .NET session and I was totally blown
away to say the least. I have kinda been against Microsoft in the past, but
the tools and concepts that they are coming out with are definitely leading
the pack (from what I have seen). 

Anyways, on to my question. . . Has anyone used Visual Age RPG in the .NET
environment? Yes it is supported as a .NET language, which means you can
use the M$ Visual Studio IDE to build and create your apps. Here is the
link if you don't believe me:-)
