Re: RPG Trivia

I believe "IBM" invented the RPG language.  The person you're thinking of is Adm. Grace Murray Hopper, and she was instrumental in developing COBOL. Her bio is at http://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/tap/Files/hopper-story.html

Do you know the name of the person who invented RPG - a woman in the US Navy
in 1964 I believe.
