Since Bob brought up the idea...
I want to start by saying that I do not have such a tool so I am not trying
to sell anyone anything. I am just looking for information from anyone that
feels like throwing in their two cents.
A few years back I was working on developing a source control / migration
tool to market to smaller shops and everyone told me it wasn't worth it so I
quit. They said the big shops want something big and well known like Aldon
or Turnover and there aren't enough small shops left to make it worth my
time.
If you were to buy a "poor man's version" of such a tool (not a lot of bells
and whistles), what would you be willing to pay for it? I am just trying to
figure out if I can cost justify my time to finish it.

Subject: ILE make tools
I'm curious as to what tools others are using for building/making ILE
applications (binding modules, service programs, etc.). I am only aware of
two freeware tools: COMPILE by Alan Campin, and BUILD by Scott Klement
(although it appears that the code for BUILD isn't available online anymore
- anyone have a copy?).
With all due respect to Alan and Scott, are there any others available? I'm
some commercial CMS packages include these features - Aldon, Implementor,
etc. - but I am a small one-developer shop, and these would be overkill for
my environment, so I'm being cheap!
Thanks
