good point, of course, but what the tests show so far is that most of them
are in the same general ballpark. Once we a say a Java solution, it's time
to run them all on the same system. I'll be happy to do so. But let's get
the code snippets first. This whole thing started because it was stated
without any substantiation that "Java was much better than RPG for string
manipulation". Soon we can compare code and maybe even do a
timing test.
