RE: Visual Age RPG and .NET environment

 What I am seeing then is that you can use the ASNA product and create the
dll's with it (as now already works, and has for several years).  
 
 NET also doesn't really create or generate anything does it?  Doesn't it
just give you a space to do what you were already doing?   The added value
of the .NET product is what?   Isn't .NET more like a workbench, competing
with the open source Eclipse project? 

I am not completely sure why one would pay for something that is already
free.

>One issue that isn't clear as yet to me about .NET is if it will run on
non-Microsoft workstations?
They did not address this.

>At the .NET session did you see what exists and is available right now, or
what is promised someday?
They showed us what is available right now. The part where they talked
about RPG being available in .NET was said like this "I saw a link relating
to RPG being .NET compatible", so that would be the only area that they were
fogging on availability.
