Yeah ... I keep forgetting that most people use WINDOWS, instead of a GOOD OS (Like Mac or OS/2 -- seriously). But my point remains that RPG is old school. I will grant that ILE RPG has brought a lot of "good stuff" to RPG, but the fact also remains that most programmers are still programming in RPG III. I have done both ends; I've built "mission-critical" apps using Visual Basic, and I have built "graphical apps" using RPG! I mean everything from charts to pull-down menus. (did the pull-down menus in 1986; not bad for a guy that can't "can't quiet wrap your chubby little knuckles around RPG", according to Leslie. Never mind the PROGRAM GENERATOR that I wrote ... or that fact that I TAUGHT RPG ... and TAUGHT GDDM PROGRAMMING ... not bad for a "PC programmer, thrust into a midrange world".) Peace, -- Don P.S.
