BABY/4XX
An emulation of an RPG III/IV or RPG/400 development environment running on a IBM AS/400 originally published by California Software Products in the early 90's, originally for OS/2 and DOS but later with versions for Microsoft Windows and Novell NetWare as well. The system allowed you to develop and debug software for the AS/400, to use the system as an alternative to a AS/400 and run RPG/400 software on the Baby/400 as a single user or optionally a multi-user system, but you were also supplied with an RPG/400 compiler that targeted DOS, Windows and OS/2 that allowed you to distribute applications to PC, that however required a license fee based on each program you delivered in a PC format.
The system was officially renamed Baby/4xx after a trademark complaint from IBM although industry publications and users continued to refer to the system as Baby/400.
