Work demand for Powerhouse jobs......

[Ken Langendock]

Not sure if anyone has replied to you yet.

Powerhouse moved to the Windows platform about (at least) 4 years ago. The
announcement on the Linux port just came out a few weeks ago. The
Windows/Unix and Linux platforms are very different than mainframes. There
are no single-thread Batch Queues in windows/Linux/Unix (I created one).

I was a PH Contractor until hooking up with a company in Houston Texas (I
live in Canada). The prospect of contracting in PH is getting more slim by
the day.

There are still PH jobs out there, but nothing "part time".
The cost for an individual to get Ph Development is more than one would
expect...making a part time gig somewhat impractical. The cost of run-time
is also very prohibitive, this makes competing with VB and Java impossible,
Too bad since I am sure with QKView, there would be a market for small
system development.

How this answers your questions

I am wondering if there is still a demand for Powerhouse programmers. 
All throughout the 1990's I did Powerhouse programming and am really
interested in picking up extra work as a developer.

Does any one know what the demand is for Powerhouse programmers?  Is it
still mostly on mainframe/midrange computers or has Powerhouse moved to
Windows boxes?

Thanks.
