I had a Hexco RPG ruler at each of my previous two positions. Unfortunately

they were purchased by the companies so I couldn't bring them with me. The
one complaint I had was that the RPGIV ruler didn't have the edit codes
(which I always have to look up because I can't remember them), so I printed

a very small matrix and cut and taped it to the ruler. Voila!

Honestly I didn't use the ruler all that much but when I needed a quick
reference it was very handy. And it was useful for other things as well;
self-defense, hacking through the Amazon jungle. And it's always nice to
have a good solid straight-edge.

Some of the forms vendors came up with their own version of the

a small price.

I have at least one copy of:
o RPG Debugging Template (GX21-9129-9)
o DDS Debugging Template (GX21-7717-3)
o IBM Flowcharting Template (GZ20-8020-2)

and a steel printer spacing rule (made in U.S.A) given to me by a local
printed forms paper supply company (engraved with my name as Christmas
gift--oh boy!), and a steel RPG/400 rule made by Hexco Inc. I believe
they still supply the RPG rules (pun intended) and they have one for RPG
IV too. I never bothered with buying one of those because by then I'd
moved on from needing such a thing.

See:
http://www.hexco.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?
and search for RPG.

One of these days I should scan these things and put them up somewhere
(perhaps midrange Wiki) for archival and curiosity purposes.
