Re: CGI programming

I know Brad... flogging a dead horse... but the paragraph struck me,
just resonated, Nathan nailed it with that paragraph.

"old job" Yes, i remember, great times. The solution to most challenges
was "Let's put it in a service program!" <g>
[btw thanks for showing me how to do service programs]

From what I can tell, IBM wants nothing to do with ILE/RPG for CGI/Web

programming. And haven't for over 20 years.

I remember at my old job (you worked there too, John!) when I wrote my
first eRPG book, the IBM reps would visit and would joke "Oh, you're the
eRPG guy!!! hahah"

Why? They were trying to push Websphere on everyone as a solution when
there was already something easy, fast and familiar right in front of
them... at no extra cost.

Our products use ILE languages to implement web interfaces, mostly for
performance reasons. Our competitors recommend and require 10 times more
CPU cores for their products, than we do.
