RE: RPG Textbooks

[Colleen Marone <CM@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been working with RPG on and off for approx. 8 years.. 
One book I can swear by is "The Modern RPG Language" by Robert Cozzi.
It's not necessarily a text book, but it is an excellent reference
book.Specification Formats, and Operation Codes are explained in detail.
Modular Programming and File Processing are also explained with plenty
of  examples. 
My copy that I am currently using is dog-eared and has notes and
highlights all over... from previous readers.  For approx. $ 65.00, it
would be well worth checking out.
I hope this helps.
