RE: open source rpg compiler

Hi Walden,

I mean ILE RPG.  As long as IBM is able to get the sale on a required base
websphere, I dont see why open sourcing RPG would negatively affect IBM at
all.

Having missed the original post on midrange-l maybe this is obvious, but...
Are you speaking of OPM or ILE RPG? IF there was a demand for it you could
right a 3rd party OPM compiler now, no? Afterall, isn't the RPG compiler
just a translater into MI? Could you not simply do your own translation into
MI? I know I've made RPG programs recursize by removing the recursion check
and then compiling the MI.

In the case of New-MI (ILE stuff) I'm not aware of the same level of openess
that exists for old MI... Too bad.
