RE: IBM's failure to provide AD tools

Phil,

ICBW, it's been almost 20 years since I studied it, and a while since I've
seen much.

I thought it was: label, opcode, result field, ((factor 1, factor 2) OR
free-form))

Oooops...!

I guess I was thinking it would make more sense to RPG-coders to have the
result-field moved from far-right to far-left.  Plus, that would also allow
the editor to shift between indenting or not, and still leave the result
field in a constant position on the screen.
