Latest Quote on the Developer Forums

"MSI is pleased to announce that we successfully ported over a quarter
million lines of MACRO-32 code along with several hundred lines of C
code during the HP/Intel Developers Forum in Phoenix in September. 
The
code comprised our Migration RPG compiler suite and the port was an
unqualified success. We were pleased with the ease of the port. Once 
our
development environment was configured on an Itanium-based server
running OpenVMS, the compilation and linking of the entire application
was completed in a matter of hours. The only code changes necessary 
were
modifications to compiler directives to account for the new Itanium
hardware.
 
We were ably assisted in our porting effort by on-site HP software
engineers. In addition to successfully porting a large application and
three small ones, we also obtained quite a bit of useful information
from the forum's general seminars and OpenVMS specific technical
sessions. Our hat is off to HP and Intel for putting on a quality event,
with a special note of thanks to the on-site HP engineers that made our
port a painless endeavor."
