Re: RPG V?

Thanks for the article link, Hans.

I'm all in for a fully free format RPG. I really don't get what you're talking about with a window of opportunity. I wish WDSC would color code %BIFs. I've been wishing it for, oh, 5 years or more. If they suddenly did it, I wouldn't say, "Sorry, you missed your opportunity." Now, if you simply don't care about what they're doing, then that's a whole nother story.

Kurt: I think you're missing my point. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing
a fully free-form RPG V language.

But I just don't see a rationale for it. That is, what problem is it
solving? Is it more important than other pressing needs? That always was
the question, and still is, the way I see it.

Without any substantive benefit, the only thing I can think of is that
IBM sees benefit in the buzz surrounding the change.

Cheers! Hans
