Re: Open Source vs RPG XML Suite

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Julio,

Sorry about your predicament.  Some people just don't see the light when 
it comes to open source.  I've been working with open source for many 
years...  FreeBSD, Firefox, Thunderbird, Apache, TN5250, OpenSSH, 
OpenSSL, to name a few projects (of many more) I've worked with.

In that time, I've seen exactly one vendor who's support is as good as 
the "community support" of those open source projects.  Every other 
commercial support I receive is inferior to the "no support" of the open 
source tools.  (The one vendor, by the way, is IBM.)

I have no experience with RPG XML Suite.

I think it's a Krengeltech product, right?  That's the company that 
Aaron Bartell works for, and he's one of the good guys, so...  it's 
probably a good product.

I suggest contacting him and/or asking this question in a forum like 
WEB400 on Midrange.com
