RE: iSeries Misconceptions

["Mohondro, Kevin" <KMohondro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We've had quite a few customers that are brand new to the AS400 world. One
of them dropped their Unix app to go with our AS400 based one. 

We develop our package fully in RPGIV. We have a GUI package that goes over
the top of our pacakge, if a customer wants it.
