No; just advertising that knowledge in the wrong circles. ;-) That was a bit of advice I got from a professor who taught the one semseter of COBOL I took, and if COBOL has a stigma of being out-of-touch with the rest of the world, RPG has an even worse one. (Incidentally, I have a picture hanging on my office wall, a bit of "Windoze Accessory Paint" art that I put together about 7 or 8 years ago, after teaching myself enough RPG to maintain the non-MI portions of QuestView. It's a picture of RPG code etched into a stone tablet.) Then again, with so many developers these days being shameless bloatware-mongers, I kind of like being out-of-step! :-) -- James H. H.
