What's this EGL? Where's the early messages in this > thread? It's the 4GL language in WebSphere. There's some sort of battle to merge 4GL with EGL along the lines of merging IDS with DB2. Fernando Fernandez started the thread, trying to "start a campaign to convince IBM to revive New Era and Informix 4GL for Windows." Then explained that IBM representatives told him "there will be a conversion tool from 4GL to EGL that will convert *most* of the existing code. This means that not all the code will be convertible. And the programmers will have to learn a new language entirely." Cheers, -- Mark. +----------------------------------------------------------+-----------+ | Mark D.
