NetRexx and IBM

Mike Cowlishaw-3
Several different groups in IBM are working with NetRexx, including
some major service contracts, and the future for NetRexx is very rosy.
As you know, sometimes things take longer than one might wish in a
large corporation -- but I've spent 20 months on NetRexx now, which I
wouldn't do if it didn't have a future.  I cannot, of course,
speculate on unannounced plans.

Oh, I'm in effect responsible for IBM's 'Scripting Languages' strategy,
at corporate level, so you can be sure that all the right people are
aware of NetRexx.  In fact, I'm in Toronto at the moment for a key
meeting in this area.

The idea seems to be catching on, too -- see Oracle's and Fujitsu's
announcements in the last week about NetCOBOL...

This is not bad news. Thanks, Mike, for the assurance of NR's on-going success. It is
something that, as a long time OS/2 user, I have not had enough of! <G>

Just plain curiosity here, can you mention who they are? I'd get a kick out of
knowing which BIG players I am keeping company with.

20 months? It's been that long?

Makes me feel a whole lot warmer, thanks Mike.
