Re: Rumours RE:.NET

Ken,

Doesn't ASNA already offer support for RPG in .NET with their Visual RPG?

Microsoft doesn't have to do anything, the CLR which is the heart of .NET 
is language neutral.  It is just a matter of writing a compiler that 
generates CLR code.  I believe that MicroFocus and/or Fujitsu are already 
doing Cobol versions, and ASNA has done RPG.

Hello group
                                 I've heard a rumour, that MS is planning 
to upgrade the .Net framework to handle Micro-Focus cobol.(this year)
                                 also heard a rumour, that RPGIV might be 
next.
Any comments?
