Dieing to give them a reason and having them actually act on it are often two different things. Bob Cozzi Cozzi Consulting www.rpgiv.com -----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of rob@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2003 9:01 AM To: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Subject: RE: open source rpg compiler Bob, I guess I believe that one should just stay current. It always appalls me that someone wants to participate in a death spiral by running an older release of the operating system because they believe that it's good enough or it's all their hardware supports. What shortly happens is less and less runs on the iSeries and gets shoved off on to other equipment. I guess it can be frustrating for a developer to not be able to take advantage of the newer stuff because some customer will not upgrade. However, as has been proven by a major software vendor at their user conference; if you insist that they stay current then many of your customers will give you a standing ovation because they've been dying to give their managers another business case for staying current.
