I have no issue with the article itself and it pretty much aligns with what
I posted here a few days ago.

What was interesting to me were the comments...:-)

What's the Veryant story? I hadn't heard the name before. It generates Java byte code, but
appears to not be the same as perCOBOL. APS in "isCOBOL APS" stands for Application
Platform Suite, has nothing to do with Micro Focus' code generator named APS, now
replaced by Mainframe Express.

Three of four Veryant leaders came from Acucorp. Two of them live in Italy.
