CA tool: 'Does this change Yardeni's view of the future?' << So my questions are really as follows: - Is this software really as good as CA says? - What are its limitations? - Does this change Yardeni's view of the future? >> Hi Jim! Those are valid questions; here is what I think: - indeed there is and will be progress in the quality of the tools provided. This will make it more easy for many customers to remediate code. However: - as far as I know, this is a tool for COBOL only (perhaps some other languages; I did not read all the details of the CA tool yet). But there are tons of code in other languages; that also have to be remediated (assembler; 4th generation languages; C, C++, X-Base etc etc etc). - this is not a solution for embedded y2k problems. In many cases of embedded; systems will simply have to be swapped. The CA tool does not address the embedded issue at all. So my bottom line: It does NOT change Yardeni's view of the future. (alas :-(( ) Regards, John
