Re: RPG Indicators and *INKx?

[Gary Guthrie <GaryGuthrie@xxxxxxxx>]

Unfortunately, a question asked a different way still has the same

Had there been an RPG-compiler designed user interface to arrays for any
of the other types of indicators, I would have included those types as
well. Only the 99 numerical indicators are candidate for the technique.
