It could get very ugly, but it may be saner in the long run for this
organization.
I had considered using POJ, but want to limit the number of languages
in use here. So far I have programs in Ruby, Python, shell (/bin/sh)
and sed scripts. I have also inherited some Perl, Tcl and may soon
receive C# and PHP code (I was able to turn away the VB).
I understand enough about each of the languages to work with the
programs, which is why they come to me when the other person leaves.
However if I ever leave there is nobody here that can pick apart all
of the different languages; I'd rather not add another one to the mix
(Java) if it can be prevented.
For this program I only need to call a function passing in two
parameters from the API. From what I read concerning some of the
suggestions it should be doable and shouldn't be too difficult.
Thanks for all the responses,
Wayne
