It was just an observation. I’m sure there are lots of Java guys who would say using Java for everything makes you platform agnostic… :)

I'd be intrigued to know which version of APEX was available when we begun developing the application in about 1985..... Or PL/SQL for that matter.... I'm quite sure I could write a duff application either APEX or PL/SQL!! Not flame bait.... ;) As this was a bolt-on solution to a poorly developed application, the issue is not with the choice of technology, but with the implementation of the technology.

What is the world coming to ! Maybe it should have been something like "ps -o args -p ". That should work on both Tru64 and Linux !!
