CODE/400

[Mark Lazarus <mlazarus@xxxxxxxx>]

 After reading the posts regarding Code/400 i would like to suggest a
"totally radical" idea.  Let's look at the situation:

1)  Most techies would like have better programming tools
2)  IBM would like to promote their products and get better market
acceptance of the /400.
3)  They currently have a good programming tool w/ a GUI interface.
4)  This tool currently has a relatively very low market penetration.
5)  Many shops won't adopt it as the standard because it costs more,
because it's not a staple in
    all shops, name your excuse, etc.

 Solution?  Easy!

 Include it in the application toolset (i.e. PDM, SEU, SDA, etc.)  If
necessary charge nominally more (i.e. $25-50) for the suite.  

 Comments anyone?
