I'm hoping somebody out there can help me.  I have a client whose software
runs on an IBM S/36 and is written in RPG II.  For the sake of increasing
my productivity and hours-worked-per-day (I currently have a 3 hour commute
each way, which leaves me somewhat exhausted), he has asked me to look into
PC software which will essentially emulate a S/36 with RPG II (rel 4 or 5)
and OCL (rel 5).  I've received information from the software companies who
manufacture such a product, but I would like to know if anybody out there has
used any of the following and what they think of them.  The software I know
of is:

	- Baby/36 Full System	California Software Products
	- Micro RPG II		Native Software
	- RPG II		Software West

Price is not really an object, but if anybody's used Baby/36, is it worth the
additional $2000 over and above the cost of the other companies software?  If
anybody knows of other software packages for S/36 development on a PC please
let me know of them too.

Thanks in adavance,
Alan Fink
