Re: EGL Install -- WDSCI-L

IBM is unsure about what it is. We do know it generates Java and/or COBOL.So, it is either a 4GL or a code generator, but the EGL people claim it isneither. Either way, it is another (something) from the mainframe world thatwill require some re-thinking of our development techniques in the midrangeworld.

Either way, it is another "language" to add to the confusion. It is not yeta mature language, and has little in the way of redbooks or training. Whileit is free today, be careful about your investment in something "free" -especially if IBM needs to make some money of those who thought it was free.

I would be wary of investing heavily in something that IBM is still unsureabout. It seems like Joe has found it a great web-screen-design tool. Andwhile I support the "right tool for the right job" approach, I wonder ifeven Joe will keep using it if it cost him money...
