Jerry,

I was told the same back in '80 by the Chair of the CompSci dept at Clemson...needless to say I didn't think much of him then and less now.

Heck RPGII is still around. It was greatly discussed on this very forum
this past month.

RPG isn't going anywhere.

Ask your boss about DBASE, FOXPRO, ACCESS 2.0/95/97/2000/2003 etc. Those
products have great long term support -as long as you don't mind
re-writing/fixing/debugging the code after every upgrade ;)

Happy Friday!
