Re: [ldm-users] Windows and LDM replacement

So what happens if we consider changing the protocol and wrap the files in said "new" protocol? Then clients can be developed in Java, perl, pythn, c++, c#, FORTRAN, etc., for the OS of choice?

There's no reason why a client has to be coded in one language and run across all platforms...

Linux & Windows, without being Java, I see no reason anyone would object?

I also think IDV is better under Windows than Solaris or Linux..and I will
conceed Windows has good points.  However the data ingest is the backbone of
one's whole operations...and like you say Java is ust not worth it.  Makes
more sense to me for Unidata to insist on UNIX/Linux only platforms for that
portion and then as Dan suggested maybe offer some help to those new to UNIX
or Linux.  It's not like an LDM-type only box needs that much attention.  I
never touch our PDI NOAAport boxes at all.  I would touch my other LDM boxes
if they weren't doing so many other things.
