    Bob,

    Thank you for continuing to mention COBOL. I feel so alone watching this
    list with everyone always talking about RPG. I've been watching this
    conversation with interest and I would love to check out EGL and see how
    we might fit this in our COBOL shop.

    Does anyone have a good place to start to learn how to work with EGL?
    I'm using version 6 of the Rational tool.

    Mike,

    I can't really comment too much on this until our January 2008
    announcements
    are public. I will be happy after our announcement to discuss and debate
    your point. I've been a major part of developing our strategies for
    System i
    since Rational got responsibility for the compilers and development
    tools on
    March 1, 2007. I'm quite sure that some people will be upset with us but
    most will see exactly what we are doing and why. Protecting our
    customers
    investment in RPG and COBOL and providing multiple paths forward are the
    key
    to what you will see. I keep mentioning COBOL, as believe it or not
    there
    is a very large COBOL community in the System i market.
