Re: CVS on IBM ISeries

[Wayne Johnson]

P.S.  You might consider using VisualAgeC++ on NT and cross compiling to
the AS/400.  Last two projects I worked with did that with great success.
PC's are cheaper per Mhz than AS/400s so it might be cheaper to buy a
fast PC to compile with and save your AS/400 for testing.
