Re: WDSCI and EGL

From: Jon Paris

Agreed re co-operation - that crew barely recognize a System i when they
trip over one. The W-code is a little different issue as it is a platform
neutral language with back-end support on all IBM platforms. That's why it

should be the target rather than COBOL. It should simplify their platform
issues since code-gen would be fundamentally the same for all platforms
whereas today they have to make substantial changes to optimize for each
target platform.

This sounds suspiciously like it might make sense, Jon. Not unlike the idea
of giving System i users a few seats of WDSC in return for a shaving of the
price of 5722WDS. In fact, it makes perfect sense unless you have a stake
in keeping alive the turf wars between the product groups.
