Application tool provider casts ambitious eyes at the AS/400

摘要

Magic Software Enterprises plans to become a premier productivity solutions provider for the AS/400. As part of its strategy, the company will release Magic/400 8.2 by the end of 1999, develop new strategic partnerships, and dedicate AS/400 research and development and support teams. Magic/400 offers native database access, as well as access to legacy applications. Coexisting with RPG and extending it to modernize applications is one way Magic intends to build its AS/400 business. Magic/400 also boasts an integrated Internet development environment for electronic business. Instead of having to develop code, release 8.2 let programmers simply fill in tables to develop new applications.
