This doesn't make sense to me. I've built an entire large scale application around CGIDEV2 and it's that service program and their updates that keeps my company on the iSeries. To that end we're about to purchase both a new 550 and a new 520. If CGIDEV2 wasn't around (and the subsequent derivatives by Bob Cozzi and Brad Stone, we would have been off the iSeries year ago. -----Original Message----- From: web400-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:web400-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jon Paris Sent: Monday, July 18, 2005 11:40 PM To: web400 Subject: [WEB400] CGIDEV2 Just in case you haven't seen the news yet. IBM have (partially) pulled the plug on the Easy400 web site - home of CGIDEV2. Giovanni is continuing the tutorials, and distribution of all the other utilities from his new site (www.easy400.net) but IBM have apparently refused to allow him to distribute CGIDEV2. Goodness knows why. The license statement on the web site clearly says you can distribute derivative works but ... they say no. On IBM's own site the download is still available, but it is clearly marked as "frozen". Not a good day for the future of the iSeries. If some idiot at IBM thinks this will make scores of people rush to WebSphere - well boy are they in for a shock! Just sit back now and wait for ASNA's advertisements pointing out to people that IBM is obviously abandoning RPGers. Jon Paris Partner400 www.Partner400.com www.RPGWorld.com
