Mike, please, please, PLEASE ask the powers that be in your company to
contact someone about this business decision.  I for one would be perfectly
happy to just chat with them about the reasons for staying with RPG as
opposed to rewriting everything in Java.

Aaron's company is currently implementing a Java interface to their business
logic, as are other companies.  They are finding it far more productive to
leverage their existing code rather than trying to rewrite the entire system
from scratch.

Please, let your bosses know there are alternatives!

Joe
