Rob,

By the same token, there's no manual for BASIC.  Sure, there's Visual
BASIC, and Quick BASIC, and GW BASIC and even Applesoft BASIC, but no
manual for "BASIC".

Why?  Because the manuals are for a specific implementation of BASIC.
Just as the IBM manuals are for ILE RPG (a specific implementation of RPG
IV)

If you created your own "Rob RPG", it might also be an implementation of
RPG IV, but your manual would be for "Rob RPG", not for RPG IV in general.

This is the point I was trying to make before it got blown up into this
whole big deal -- RPG IV is the language, ILE RPG is IBM's AS/400
compiler.

But I'm sure you people will continue to write sarcastic messages at me
for DARING to bring this point up.  Heaven forbid that I should point out
that "ILE RPG" is not the same as "RPG IV".  What is wrong with me,
anyway?
