That's really splitting hairs, though.  To use EGL, you never need to 
use QP2TERM or STRQSH.  And I think we agree that's what Rob was talking 
about.

As it turns out, Trevor was saying that his client requires WAS on Unix 
and that WAS is a horrible, horrible thing and that he can't get 
response time under a minute.  Not sure what he's going on about, since 
EGL uses Tomcat just fine.  And I get 100 msec response time, even with 
WAS, on a model 270.

But hey, that's just me.

My guess is that they weren't using a thin EGL layer over an RPG back 
end, and were instead doing a lot of SQL in the EGL code itself, without 
really knowing what they were doing.  Poorly tuned JDBC never performs 
very well, but that's why I recommended to Alan that he be sure to get 
EGL folks that also understand how to write i applications.
