>> This is not rocket science, IBM has to either get on board with CLI ( search the web for ECMA CLI ) or improve ILE. I don't disagree about the importance of CLI. I just don't believe that it will be the deciding factor in the live/die decision. >From the MS site it would appear that the source code for a port is available. Since the code supplied will run on BSD how hard can it be to port to Linux/AIX on the iSeries. For that matter how hard is a native port? In other words - what has ILE got to do with it. I like Java as a language and regret MSs attitude over it. Much as I dislike MS, I have to admit that CLI, which potentially embraces all languages, makes a lot more sense than a strategy of "switch to Java and to heck with your existing applications".
