Re: Learning RPG

[Mark McCarty <M_McCarty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would agree w/ Jon that it's probably best to learn RPGIV and yes Judy
Jaeger's book on IV is very easy to follow and to understand.  As far as
print files, I LOVE external print files and avoid O Specs whenever
possible, I find it easier to start at position 1 and count forward than
to start at the end and count backward.

Just my opinion.
