<<< Both Cobol and DB2 are matured technologies with absolutely no downside risk. >>> This is true. The tools themselves don't doom a project and like you mention they are probably the tools of choice with large banks. Also, since IBM is a partner in Integrion it makes 1-heck-of-alotta sense. My real concern is the project itself. Anytime there is a huge development project there is a chance for a huge failure. You read about them all the time (especially in Govt), but the failures occur just as often if not more so in private industry (we just don't hear about them). Any Genesis insiders that could give a report from the trenches? TQR
