Linux RPGII/OCL was: RPG IV and CF-spec "keep it IBM"

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, the thing would be PC/36 since RPGII and OCL are not native AS/400
stuff.

The GNU project, which I recently volunteered for, is creating an RPGII/OCL
(Phase I) transpiler (compiler) for RPGII/OCL under Linux. Phase II will be
RPGIII, Phase III will be RPG IV. But who knows how much will actually get
done. So far, it looks like the OCL component is getting finished, but I'm
not a part of that.
