Unless of course they take about 15 minutes to soak in what's going on
with the free form code.  I've run into too many situation of programmers
throwing their hands in the air and not touching a program because:

if  a = b

didn't look like

a  ifeq  b


I know free form is a bit of a leap from rpgiii, but is it all that tough
if you're already coding in rpgiv?
