C not cross-platform? I thought C could be used on any platform, provided you 
have a compiler on that platform (similar to have a jvm on the platform to run 
java; without it, no java).

IBM does not want to support multiple platforms, which is their right.  

But I think IBM is going the wrong way, forcing us to maintain the machine, 
code the programmes and display data on another platform, in stead of 
enhancing/improving the original system.

Just my pet peeve (and in the wrong thread).
