RE: New RPG programmers

 >> Now there is IBM's VARPG and ASNA's VRPG, but neither get much press and
both cost $$.

Hate to contradict you but VARPG is part of the compiler package.  If you
own an RPG compiler and SEU etc. then you already own VARPG.  It is packaged
with the WDSc tools and as of the current release (V5.1.2) can be installed
separately along with CODE.

Not that it will generate any more programmers but some schools that have
tried it find that the kids are more enthused over RPG when the do VARPG and
web type programming.  It is the old "teach 'em nothing but green screen"
attitude that turns the students off.
