[Colin Williams <Williamsc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wonder if DG would be interested in setting up something along those
lines on his website.

Do you have a URL?  Or do we have to hunt through
http://www.midrangecomputing.com/ to find it?

This raises a related question:  Is there any

When RPG programmers write good procedures that
might be of interest to others, what's the best
way to share that code?
