Re: Ordering VARPG-I decided to go with Microsofts Visual Basic

I'd mention two things:  

1-VARPG is not a screenscraper.  btw, there are many useful samples of
VARPG code on the CD.

2-VARPG programs can be packaged as Java code, right now.   The idea
they've said is to allow RPG programmers to have a transition to Java that
is useful and makes sense and allows an RPG programer to leverage RPG
programming skills.
